Baldrige Award Recipients' (BAR) Consortium - Meeting and Reception. Please plan to join this spring's BAR Consortium meeting and reception. We are planning a working meeting, beginning at 5:00 PM; we will adjourn at 6:30 PM for additional networking time at the Speakers' Reception. The best part of both parts of the meeting will be opportunities for new and past recipients to get to know one another better.

Don't miss this chance to:

• Welcome the 2005 Award recipients to the Baldrige family
• Share with and learn from past and current BAR participants
• Set the BAR's path forward and establish its future agenda
• Hear the latest developments in the Baldrige Program, including updates from Harry Hertz, as well as information about a new center at the Monfort College of Business, which is being created to share practical knowledge about performance excellence.

When: Sunday, April 23, 2006 • 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM (The first evening of the Quest for Excellence® XVIII Conference)

Where: Hilton Washington Hotel (Room TBD) 1919 Connecticut Ave. NW • Washington, D.C. 20009
