The Maryland Performance Excellence Foundation (MPEF) is a tax-exempt, charitable organization that serves the people and organizations of Maryland by advancing performance excellence through education and training on the Baldrige National Quality Program, administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The Foundation managed the Maryland Performance Excellence Awards (MPEA) program which from 1985-2015 provided feedback for nearly 200 applications submitted by Maryland organizations, trained thousands of individuals in the theory and application of the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence, and trained more than 1000 volunteer Examiners in how to assess written applications and provide meaningful feedback to the applicant organizations. Congratulations to GBMC Health, Winner of 2020 Baldrige Award for Performance Excellence.
MPEF currently provides education and training for Maryland organizations that are beginning their journey to organizational excellence using the Baldrige Criteria.

The Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence is a management tool for high-performing organizations which provides a comprehensive approach to leadership strategic planning; customer/market focus; measurement, analysis and knowledge management; workforce focus; and the management of processes—all with a goal for data-driven results. The criteria are adaptive and can be used by large and small organizations, manufacturers and service providers, health care and educational institutions, and private and public sector organizations.
Why use the Criteria?
In short, using the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence to improve your organization makes good “business” sense.
Blogrige, the official blog of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, shares practical guidance, success stories, examples, and inspiration on how Baldrige resources can support your long-term success, whether your organization is large or small, has one site or worldwide locations, and is just getting started or continuously improving. This is the link to the official Baldrige Blog.
