Director Michael Novak recruits examiners for this state program each year.
“Keisha, thank you again for your service as an Examiner for the 2014 Maryland Performance Excellence Awards (MPEA) Program. Your knowledge and experience—especially in the areas of visioning, strategic planning, and governance structures—were instrumental to your Team’s success. And because of your superior performance, you were selected for the MPEA “Above and Beyond” award. You effectively applied the concepts of the evaluation criteria and the principles of the examination process, and showed dedication and enthusiasm throughout the examination process.” —Michael J. Novak, Executive Director

She delivered an organized and attractive technical manual on a tight turnaround, and worked with us right up to our deadline. We love supporting other small businesses, and recommend McKenzie Consulting Group for communication work.” —Carla Cargill Sandy and Colin Sandy
