TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The 23rd-annual Alabama Quality Award conference and ceremony will be held Dec. 1-3 at the Perdido Beach Resort in Orange Beach, organizers announced Saturday.
The AQA conference typically is held in Tuscaloosa, but after Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf, conference organizers decided to help the Gulf Coast economy and relocated the conference to Orange Beach, according to a news release.
Dozens of Alabama businessmen and businesswomen will attend the conference that features keynote speaker Ken Jackson, president of Dudley C. Jackson Inc.
A University of Alabama at Birmingham graduate, Jackson has received numerous awards and distinctions, including 2001 Executive of the Year from the “Birmingham Business Journal,” and Outstanding Civic Leader for 2002 by the Alabama Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
There will also be sessions discussing “How to Manage an Organization in Tough Economic Times.”
The 2010 awards will be presented the evening of Dec. 2.
The Alabama Quality Award (modeled after the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award) has been administered by the Alabama Productivity Center, located at The University of Alabama, since 1986. The award recognizes and honors organizations whose past or recent innovations in areas of production, service or management have resulted in increased productivity and quality.
