Providence, Rhode Island

CLICK HERE for Peer Reviewer Application Form.  Once you have completed the Peer Reviewer application, the Partnership will send you registration and hotel information.

The Community Action Partnership sponsors the Pathways to Excellence initiative to build the capacity of Community Action Agencies through learning and continuous improvement.  This initiative follows the principles of Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award used worldwide to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public and private organizations.

To ensure success of this effort, the Partnership needs to maintain a pool of qualified CAA system experts who are willing to participate and share their knowledge during the Pathways self-study technical reviews, and for on-site verification reviews that are part of the Award process.

Participants must have a minimum of five years management experience and complete an Award Reviewer application form.  CAA staff below the Executive Director level must be recommended by their Executive Director.  Participants must agree to complete pre-work prior to the session, including a Standards of Excellence review exercise and a CAA Case Study scoring exercise.

Travel expenses of up to $500 will be available to those completing the training session.  You must agree to complete the pre-work and remain for the entire training session to qualify for this reimbursement.  The session space is limited so register early.

For information and encouragement please email Lil Dupree, Director of Training or call her at 202-449-9775.
