What BETE Attendees Are Saying

best professional development program that I’ve ever attended

Dr. Mark J. Safferstone, Executive Director, UMW Campuses at Stafford and Dahlgren
__________________________________

In my more than 40 years of professional experience, [the Baldrige Examiner Training Experience] was the best professional development program—content and delivery—that I’ve ever attended. I met great colleagues, individuals who were more interested in facilitating others’ learning than proving their own expertise. … My experience as a Visiting Examiner was a professional highlight and my certificate is proudly displayed in my office!
