The APB holds a meeting of the Institutional Forum for Quality in the Public Sector at Port Adriano
13/11/2014Coinciding with World Quality Day, the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) organised a conference for members of the Institutional Forum for Quality in the Public Sector in the Balearic Islands at the Port Adriano Marina, in the municipality of Calvià. The conference showcased the latest developments in quality and innovation implemented in this marina, which were explained by the Deputy Chairman of the Association of Marinas and Nautical Facilities in the Balearic Islands (ANADE), Isabel Teruel. During the meeting, a quality commitment declaration was signed by the Confederation of Businessowner Associations in the Balearic Islands (CAEB), and by AENOR, ASEPEYO, and the Association of Business Agents, which reflected their commitment to making quality an essential part of their organisation. The meeting also heralded the announcement of the imminent start-up of the Forum’s website, which will be hosted on the corporate web of the Balearic Islands’ Regional Government, and revealed details of the Forum’s 2015 meeting, which will kick off on board the MSC Preziosa cruise ship on 22nd April. World Quality Day was created by the United Nations in 1990 in order to raise worldwide awareness of the contribution quality makes towards the progress of nations. The APB, as the Forum’s coordinating body, has taken on the mission to act as a meeting point to promote and coordinate cooperation between public authorities and their staff in a culture of management excellence, and to drive continuous improvement in the public sector in the Balearic Islands. Today’s meeting was attended by the Calvià Town Councillor, Esperanza Català, and the Ministry of Defence representative in the Balearic Islands, Manuel Fernández-Roca, amongst other personalities.
