Announcements
Happy New Year from WSQA

Make this your year to focus on excellence.
With a troublesome economy, your organization can no longer wait to get involved. Focusing on excellence helps organizations make the most of scarce resources by aligning around critical strategies. Sustainability in all aspects including environmental, financial, human resources, and customer emphasis will be of paramount importance as organizations move forward in this new year.
As a nonprofit organization, WSQA is the resource to lean on. If you want to push to new heights, even in these economic conditions, we can help. Call Jennifer at (360) 697-2444 to find out how or visit our Web site at www.wsqa.net.
We would also like to take this time to thank all of our many volunteers for the time they have dedicated to helping other organizations improve their performance. We thank our many applicants for their dedication to performance excellence as well. We are all “winners” when Washington State organizations focus on excellence. Thank you all for working together to improve the way we live, learn, and work in Washington by helping organizations achieve superior results through the use of the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. You are critical to the future success of our state and are greatly appreciated.
