Annual Showcase and Performance Excellence Awards

The year-long work of the Greater Rochester Quality Council culminates in the Annual Showcase and Performance Excellence Awards - an event that celebrates the many quality initiatives and achievements across our community.

​

The 2023 Showcase was held October 11, 2023 at Locust Hill Country Club from 5-8 pm.   Meet the 2023 Finalists and hear about their projects.

The award process starts with a self-nominating application in one of three categories: Operations Excellence, Customer Excellence, and Team Excellence. Criteria and scoring are fashioned after the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Awards. A team of judges visit each award finalist to observe the use of performance excellence tools and practices, hear from leadership and people involved in the continuous improvement process, and see the results first hand.

Our goal is to discover, recognize, and help others learn from high performing organizations in the Greater Rochester Area. Award recipients are recognized at the GRQC Annual Showcase and Performance Excellence Awards.

The showcase features exhibits from leading organizations across the Greater Rochester Community, including all award finalists, strategic alliances, and Day of Quality participants. Each exhibit displays the unique quality journey - from problem to solution to results - with team members telling the story.
