Hello World
When learning a new computer programming language, those are often the first words used for the output. Those words seem appropriate here, as we use this power of the blog to inform you about events at the World Conference in Orlando.
I'm Dennis Arter, also known as "The Auditguy." Many of you are already familiar with my books and courses on quality auditing. I have been blogging for the past three years over on Blogspot. I also run a wiki site for the Customer-Supplier Division to use for project management of the "roadshow" seminars. I listen to podcast lectures while traveling on airplanes. I monitor about a dozen RSS feeds throughout the day.
Yes. I'm a geek and I enjoy this new world of virtually sharing information with my friends around the world.
I was asked by ASQ headquarters staff to share my experiences in Orlando with you. Helping me will be two other professionals who are also into virtual communicating -- Aimee Siegler and Will LaFollette. Together, we hope to give you a sense of what is happening in a real-time basis. Well, not exactly continuous, but often enough for you to learn about the events shortly after they occur.
Here are the things I hope to report on:

I have been ASQ Member since 1978 and have attended ASQ Conferences sicne 1981 (I missed two in between during 1982 and 1987). I have been involved in ASQ activities at National, Internationa Chapter, Division, Committee and Section level.
ASQ Annual conference (now WCQI) provides an unique opportunity to meet, greet and network with quality professionals from 45+ countries.
During my Chair/Trustee of International Chapter, I have come across many of the memmbers, who are doing exceptional contribution to the Quality Field.
See you in Orlando.
