About SPQA
The U.S. Senate Productivity and Quality Award for Virginia (SPQA) is the Commonwealth’s premier awards program for performance excellence. For over 20 years, the SPQA performance excellence criteria have been used by hundreds of Virginia organizations to stay abreast of competition and to improve performance. Today’s business and government environment make it imperative that organizations focus on current challenges: openness and transparency in governance and ethics, the need to create value for customers, the challenge of rapid innovation, and capitalizing on knowledge assets. No matter the size or complexity of your organization, the SPQA performance excellence criteria provide a valuable framework that can help you plan in an uncertain environment.

The SPQA mission is to cultivate continuous performance improvement of Virginia’s organizations through a process of knowledge sharing, feedback and evaluation, and recognition, resulting in positive economic impact for the Commonwealth.

More than an award, the SPQA program helps Virginia organizations achieve performance excellence through a process of training and education, evaluation, feedback, and recognition. The SPQA performance criteria and core values are adapted from the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and are used by many top public and private institutions as a proven business model.

A 501(c)3 charitable organization, SPQA is staffed by a core of dedicated volunteers and is funded by financial contributions from generous Virginia organizations who support performance excellence.
