Board of Examiners

The TNCPE Board of Examiners spends hundreds of hours assessing the businesses that apply to the TNCPE award program. Using in-depth training on Baldrige-based quality criteria, the Board evaluates organizations small and large. Manufacturers, service providers, educational institutions, health care providers, government organizations and other non-profits have all taken advantage of the feedback that emerges from the Board's evaluations.

 Coming from all over the state and beyond, examiners are leaders in their fields, representing a cross-section of Tennessee's business economy.
