The best way to get better, faster

"As responsible business people, we must make our companies globally competitive or we will get blind-sided by the rest of the world. The Forward Award is a great incentive to help us get where we need to be so we can continue to grow."

~ J. Michael Borden, CEO of HUFCOR, Inc., 2001 Governor's Forward Award of Excellence Recipient
