AWARDS
The Ohio Partnership for Excellence manages the
Ohio Award for Excellence Program. This program
offers organizations in all sectors the opportunity
to receive varying levels of Feedback Reports and
an evaluation of their achievement of success as
compared to the Baldrige Criteria. The program is
divided into two basic components, with multiple
levels.
BRONZE AWARD
The first program is the entry level and culminates
in the organization receiving the Bronze Award.
The Bronze
Level Award is given to those organizations
who complete the entry level program under the guidance
of an examiner/coach. This program runs year-round
and has no defined application deadlines. Applicants
are formally recognized at the annual conference.
FULL APPLICATION PROGRAM
The second program is the Full
Application Program and follows the full criteria.
Organizations of any sector or size may apply by
submission of a Full Application that is responsive
to all elements of the criteria. The requirements
for application are outlined in a special publication.
It can be downloaded from this site along with the
Criteria. This program runs on an annual cycle and
specific deadlines are required! Applicant's may
be selected for a site visit as a part of this process
- and it culminates in the review by a panel of
Judges and the award of either the Silver Award,
or the Gold Award, or the Platinum Award.
