Why Attend?

If you haven’t been to Quest in a while or if you’re considering why you should go this year, here are a few good reasons:

  • Learn more about the 5 diverse organizations that received the 2009 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and hear from keynote speaker Jerry R. Rose, Corporate Vice President of Cargill, Inc.

  • Share what’s working, what’s not and discover best practices for your organization during any of the 40 Baldrige-based sessions

  • Find out what other organizations are doing to engage customers and their workforce and to get ahead despite economic conditions

  • Network with like-minded peers on the path to excellence from business, education, health care, and nonprofit organizations

  • Deepen your knowledge of the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence and ways to apply them
