The ceremony was presided over by U.S. Secretary of Commerce John Bryson and Dr. Patrick Gallagher, Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and Director of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology.

The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award is the highest national honor for performance excellence that any U.S. organization can receive. The award, which is administered through the NIST Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, is designed to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. businesses and help them compete in an ever-expanding, demanding global market.
