Management faculty member, Dr. Susan Williams, was recently recognized by the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence (TNCPE) as the 2009 Recipient of the Ned. R. McWherter Leadership Award. The award is for Susan’s longtime commitment to helping organizations achieve performance excellence and her service to the TNCPE. The organization works within the State of Tennessee to help promote and implement the criteria for the Malcolm Baldrige National Qualityl Award. Williams previously served as a judge for the national Baldrige program which is administered through the U.S. Department of Commerce on behalf of the President.
Former Tennessee Governor McWherter’s warm remarks about Susan at the recent TNCPE banquet made it clear that she is held in the highest regard by her friends and peers in the performance excellence community. The reputations of Belmont University and The College of Business Administration are significantly enhanced by Susan’s commitment to excellence as well as the award she received from the TNCPE.
