The Baldrige Foundation today announced the establishment of the Baldrige Framework National Technical Committee, a formally convened advisory body responsible for maintaining the technical integrity, precision, and consistency of the Baldrige Excellence Framework®.

The Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (Baldrige Foundation) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Department of Commerce and its National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), marking a defining moment in the evolution of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program.

Candidates are being sought for the next cohort of the Baldrige Executive Fellows Program, a one-year, leadership development experience designed to facilitate dialogue on all aspects of leadership and how it relates to a visionary focus, strategy, operational excellence, customer and employee engagement, and sustainability. The program is for C-suite-level executives or accomplished leaders who report to the most senior leader in their organization.
