NQI Partners Resource Centre

National Quality Institute is becoming Excellence Canada! The official launch of Excellence Canada will take place at the Summit and Canada Awards for Excellence events at the Hilton Harbour Castle in Toronto on November 1, 2011. We are also phasing out the term “Basic Member”, recognizing that all our “members” are “Partners in Excellence”.  The “Basic Member” level is being renamed “Bronze Partner in Excellence” and joins our other Partnership levels of Platinum, Gold, and Silver. In addition, a new partnership level has been added – “Founding Partners of Excellence Canada” for those Partners in Excellence who make a three-year commitment at the Platinum level prior to November 1. In the future we will be adding another level, “Friends of NQI” for those individuals with organizations which are not Partners in Excellence.

As Relationship Manager, my goal is to ensure that our partners get the most of their benefits. This blog will become a forum to increase networking among partners, start a dialogue about the value of the current partner benefits and get ideas for new ones. It will include handy links back to our home page www.nqi.ca and selected articles in our Quest for Excellence newsletter.  The current secure “NQI Members Resource Centre” is being redesigned so this blog will provide links to content in that secure area that are for partners only, and require the usual login.

I welcome your comments and questions. Please email me at glenda@nqi.ca .
