About the ASQ Baldrige for Education Network (BEN)

This network is open to both ASQ members and visitors. The network provides an opportunity to participate in an interactive learning community designed to help people and organizations share knowledge and practical solutions with regard to implementing the Education Criteria for Performance Excellence.

We welcome the state team members of the original six states engaged in the Baldrige in Education Initiative (BiE IN) implemented by the National Alliance of Businesses (NAB) and American Productivity & Quality Center (APQC). Learn more about them in the FAQ section of this network. ASQ recently volunteered to provide them with a "home" and means to keep them connected. They have much to share in terms of their state journeys and lessons learned.

Whether you're involved in a BiE IN state effort, or you're an individual educator or partner to education we welcome your involvement in this learning community. You will find:

People with questions, people with answers, people with thought-provoking information on our discussion board
Articles and information about Baldrige and best practices and the ability to submit an article or document for publication on this network
Links to ASQ resources and others for learning more about Baldrige

In addition to this network, ASQ has other resources for educators interested in learning about quality principles, processes, and tools. The ASQ Education Division is a membership community that has a broad range of members, an electronic newsletter and resources that will help you on your quality journey.
