WQA launches Mark of Excellence recognition program
The Water Quality Association unveiled a new member recognition program called 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 replaces the six-year-old Business Excellence designation, which required companies to pay a program fee and apply for the recognition. Instead, the Mark of Excellence is awarded automatically at no extra charge to companies that meet its three criteria: Companies are a WQA member in good standing; companies sell or manufacture certified water treatment products; companies have certified professionals on staff
in the individual location.
