Become a Member

Membership in the Southwest Alliance for Excellence is an investment in your organization. Organizations that are a part of SWAE can improve their performance through learning opportunities (Third Thursday Webinars, workshops, and examiner training), networking events (Annual Banquet), and opportunities for transferability of innovative programs and best management practices.  Just one person you meet or one concept you learn at one of our events can change the way your business operates, increase sales, or improve product viability, providing a high return on your investment.

Some of the benefits of membership:

  • Access to Best Practices:  Benchmarking tours, workshops, and networking events
  • Tools You Can Use:  Baldrige Framework and associated resources,  webinars, conferences, and informational e-blasts
  • Organization-wide Benefits and Impacts:  Your organizational membership applies to ALL team members.

Organizations that join SWAE represent the best that Arizona, Nevada, and Utah have to offer. Our members believe in the value of their employees and partners, the importance of delivering quality products and services to their customers, and the power of continuous improvement.
