by MidwayUSA
Oklahoma Quality Foundation recently welcomed Matt Fleming, President of MidwayUSA, to their 5th Annual Sharing of Best Practices Conference & Awards Luncheon where he delivered the opening keynote speech entitled “Achieving Industry Leading Results Through Strategic Planning and Employee Engagement.” The conference was held November 15th at the Moore Norman Technology Center – South Penn Campus, Oklahoma City, OK.
“Matt’s opening session keynote presentation, “Achieving Industry Leading Results Through Strategic Planning and Employee Engagement,” was just what our conference guests needed to hear,” said Cary Hill, CEO of MESA and Executive Director of Oklahoma Quality Foundation. “The results that MidwayUSA has been able to achieve by ingraining the Baldrige Criteria in how they run their business was an inspiration to the leaders of the Oklahoma organizations in attendance who are on their own “Journey to Excellence” and hope one day to be a Baldrige Award recipient showcasing similar levels of role model results.”
Following Matt’s opening keynote, concurrent sessions were led by speakers from several other Baldrige and or Oklahoma Quality Award recipients – sharing insights from their respective performance excellence journeys. During the awards luncheon, two applicants were recognized by Oklahoma Quality Foundation for their dedication to performance excellence. Honored at the Achievement level, Southern Oklahoma Technology Center (Ardmore) was presented with the Achievement of Excellence Award. Honored at the Commitment to Excellence level, Oklahoma City Indian Clinic (Oklahoma City) received the Commitment to Excellence Award.
