Hi everyone.  Here we are in Alabama.  Deer are feeding and getting ready for hunting season.  Bass are biting plastic worms, and we are still helping organizations get better using the Baldrige Criteria!  It doesn't get any better than this! 

There are actually five seasons in our culture.  Spring, Summer, Baldrige, Fall, & Winter!  Yes, when you have been doing the Baldrige cycle as long as we have, it becomes a season in itself!  From reading and scoring an application right through the site visit process.  Our kids have always known this to be true.  They know that when we get back from our summer vacation, Mom and Dad will soon be up at all hours, on the phone a lot, and traveling.  It's become the Beede way of life.  And that's why we have cell phones.  Call these numbers if you need to reach us.  If we don't answer, leave a message and we'll call back.
