Southwest Alliance for Performance Excellence (SWAE) holds annual training to prepare Examiners to evaluate award applications through the lens of the Baldrige Framework. Examiners are volunteers and represent a diverse background of industry and professional experience. Attendees will learn how to apply the Criteria for Performance Excellence to an organization, evaluate an application, and develop comment writing skills. The training is facilitated by experienced state and national examiners, who will guide the attendees through exercises that allow for group-based learning that simulates the overall examination process.
Examiner Training for the 2024 award cycle has not yet been announced. Training may be virtual or hybrid sessions. Registration details coming soon.
