As a TNCPE examiner, Bullington is responsible for reviewing and evaluating organizations that apply for the TNCPE Award. Bullington is a professor in the Department of Management in the Jennings A. Jones College of Business at MTSU.

Appointed by TNCPE’s Board of Directors, the Board of Examiners comprises experts from all sectors of the regional economy, including health care, service, nonprofit, manufacturing, education, and government.

All board members complete training in the Baldrige Excellence Framework, a nationally recognized framework for organizational improvement.

“Examiners take the skills and expertise developed during training and the assessment process back to their own jobs, benefiting and improving their own organizations and helping make Tennessee a better place to live and work,” TNCPE officials said in a release.

Each year, the TNCPE Board of Examiners contributes more than 10,000 hours of volunteer service to organizations across Tennessee. For more information, visit www.TNCPE.org.
