“Going through the full application cycle was a major catalyst in improving our organization. It served as the primary learning tool as we dissected the Criteria, analyzed the requirements, and developed our responses. For an affordable application fee and site visit expenditure, Baldrige provides education applicants with … expertise that would be too costly for us to purchase in the open market.”
