CV Highlights ()
Quality Award – I spent 6 years learning the concepts of organizational management for
quality from the American Society for Quality. This is the national
organization of professionals who are trained and hired to oversee quality
in organizations. Each year I would write a 50-page report, submit it, host
3-6 examiners for 2 days, and receive a report on how to improve
HealthPark. Once the report was received, we would institute changes,
evaluate results, and I would write a new application for the next year and
repeat the cycle.
Over a 9-year period, HealthPark improved to the point that we
received the Quality Award for organizational excellence in 2001. Only 5
organizations in our 9 county area had received this award in the first 10
years it was available. Marriot Hotel only achieved a second level award.
Beta Gamma Sigma – Honorary degree in business based on accomplishment at
HealthPark and my work in the M.B.A. and undergraduate programs at WrightState in organizational management.
Ohio Award for Excellence – By 2003, going through the same process as Quality
Dayton but at an advanced, statewide level, HealthPark was awarded the
second level achievement. In most years, the governor presents Level 1
Awards and nationally, the President of the United States presents the award winners.
