The foundation of all Sterling assessment processes is the core of highly trained professional Examiners. They are an impartial board of working professionals who review each written application and conduct site visits for those organizations wishing to receive an on-site review.
Sterling Examiners make up an impressive cross-section of Florida's business community and represent all parts of Florida and every career sector. Company presidents and government leaders work hand-in-hand with leading lawyers, doctors and schoolteachers. This combination of work experience, diversity and knowledge gives the Examiners a unique perspective on what it takes to guide a business to performance excellence. The thrill of working and learning from other leading professionals exhilarates and stimulates the Examiners and allows them to bring the ideas of performance excellence to their own companies. That explains why hundreds of top professionals each year apply for the privilege of becoming a Sterling Examiner. Participation is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Examiners commit up to two weeks of the year to the Sterling assessment process. The experience is both intensive and comprehensive, and many Examiners relish the opportunity to participate year after year.
