ASQ 2008 World Conference on Quality and Improvement

Let me tell you a bit about myself and what I'll be doing with this blog.  I am an ASQ Senior member.  I have achieved 4 ASQ certifications (CMQ/OE, CQE, CQA, CQIA) plus I am an RABQSA Provisional Auditor.  Currently I serve you, the ASQ members, as a Director on the Board of Directors.  I am also the Vice Chair of the Section Affairs Council (SAC), Regional Director for Region 3 (which covers parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) and Chair of the SMP (Section Management Process) committee.  I serve on a number of other committees and task forces including working with the Education and Training Initiative and the Nominating Committee.

In my real life I am a Quality Consultant.  I work with several clients to develop and maintain their Quality Management Systems.

I will be in Houston, TX from Tue, April 29 through Thu, May 8.  Part of this visit will include Internal Audits for one of my clients.  Most of the time, though will be involved with ASQ activities.  These activities include:

• Board of Directors meeting
• SAC/DAC joint meeting
• Ideas to Action Gathering
• Leadership Institute (member leader training)
• SAC meeting
• and finally the World Conference on Quality and Improvement itself.

My intention here is to share with you my experiences throughout these events.

Well, that's it for now...I'll bring you more beginning May 1, 2008!

Regards,

David
