WQA launches ‘Mark of Excellence’ recognition program
Sept. 18, 2023
Replacing the Business Excellence designation, the Mark of Excellence is awarded automatically at no extra charge to distinguish certified WQA member companies.
The Water Quality Association (WQA) has announced a new member recognition program — the Mark of Excellence — to honor water treatment professionals demonstrating a commitment to quality at the highest level.
The program distinguishes WQA member companies that sell certified products and employ certified professionals.
“The Mark of Excellence showcases a member company’s professional expertise and reinforces its commitment to top performance-based standards for its employees and the products it sells,” said Heather Duve, WQA membership and development director. “Consumers will be able to identify at a glance which companies have taken those extra steps.”
A distinct gold-trimmed logo identifies Mark of Excellence companies, whose names are starred and in gold type at the top of the search results in WQA’s online find-a-member directory. Mark of Excellence companies are allowed to use the special logo in their businesses, in advertising, on social media, and in other special marketing tools.
The Mark of Excellence replaces the six-year-old Business Excellence designation, which required companies to pay a program fee and apply for the recognition. Instead, the Mark is awarded automatically — at no extra charge — to companies that meet its three criteria:
Are WQA member in good standing
Sell or manufacture certified water treatment products
Have certified professionals on staff in the individual location
More information on the recognition program - and how WQA members qualify - is available on the WQA website.
