Asia Pacific Quality Organization, Inc. will be an autonomous, non-political, non-stock, non-profit, membership association with the purpose of promoting excellence in the practice of Quality domiciled in an Asia-Pacific region fixed by its Core Council. Asia Pacific includes countries in Asia and those located near the Pacific Rim. It is more than thirty-year old non-profit umbrella organization that has brought together professional quality organizations that border on the Pacific Ocean.
The GPEA (introduced in 2000 as IAPQA) is the only formal international recognition of performance or business excellence. The program is administered by the APQO which is non-stock, non-profit organization that serves as an umbrella group that brings together all of the leading quality professional societies in Asia Pacific Region. In 2010, the name of this prestigious award was changed from IAPQA to GPEA to reflect the evolution in the field of quality from a focus on product and service quality to a strategic focus encompassing overall organizational performance termed performance/organizational/business excellence. The GPEA endeavors to bridge the cultural geographic and economic system gap of National Quality Awards (NQA).
