Dr. John G. Conyers, Superintendent of Schools, Community Consolidated School District 15, has been appointed by Arden Bement, the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to the 2003 Board of Examiners for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The Award, created by public law in 1987, is the highest level of national recognition for performance excellence that a U.S. organization can receive.
As an examiner, Dr. Conyers is responsible for reviewing and evaluating applications submitted for the Award. The board is composed of about 400 leading experts selected from industry, professional and trade organizations, education and health care organizations, and government.
Those selected meet the highest standards of qualification and peer recognition. All members of the board must take part in a preparation course based on the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence and the scoring and evaluation processes for the Baldrige Award.
Awards may be given annually in each of five categories: Manufacturing, Service, Small Business, Education and Health Care.
The Award Program is managed by NIST, a program of the Commerce Department’s Technology Administration, in close cooperation with the private sector. The American Society for the Quality (ASQ) in Milwaukee, WI, administers the program.
