What Can the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence Do For You and Your Organization?
 In a recent interview with
KFIZ Radio AM 1450,
Dr. JoAnn Sternke, Superintendent of Pewaukee School District, shared her insight into the value of forming a relationship with WCPE. That relationship helped guide Pewaukee School District to the pinnacle of performance excellence, as one of only three recipients of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for 2013. Pewaukee had previously attained the excellence level of Wisconsin Forward Award recognition in 2010.
