up-to-date on quality related happenings. ASQ Section 0904 News: Chair Chat - by Rich Ruh - September 2010
It is not the best of times for the U.S. economy. A significant number of our ASQ members are unemployed or underemployed. Many of the rest of us cannot be certain what will happen next week or next month. Those unhappy thoughts aside, we know this recession, like those in the past, will end eventually. Businesses will grow, and the demand for quality professionals will strengthen once again. Our nation’s economic strength comes from the quality of the products and services produced and we will continue to be a vital part of it. That is part of why ASQ and our local chapter exist. As the Leadership Committee has thought about programs for the upcoming year, a primary goal has been to come up with ideas that our members can use immediately. There is really no better time to learn and set goals for professional improvement than the present. So, you will see programs focusing on lean and statistical tools we can use on the job and at home. We will try to find and share quality resources, especially those on the web. Our monthly meetings will, hopefully, be opportunities for learning and networking. Please let us know any ideas you would be interested in hearing about or presenting. While a lot of the news around us may be discouraging, the future looks bright. Check out what is going on around the country on the ASQ main website www.asq.org , our local Chapter website at www.asq904.org , and consider joining the ASQ group on Linkedin at www.linkedin.com. All are good online sources for learning and networking and staying abreast of what other quality professionals are doing and thinking.In the meantime, attend our monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of the month September through May. December will be the only month we will not meet. The first meeting of the 2010-2011 year is on Wednesday, September 15. I look forward to seeing you there. Regards, Rich Ruh
