Chair’s Message: Dear Friends and Members, I am freshly returned from being a 1st timer attendee at the 2010 ASQ World Conference, held in St. Louis MO where there were 4-embedded conferences in one, and topical tracks to delight anyone in any quality-related specialty. I am supercharged! The conference was great and I highly recommend it as one the best that ASQ conducts –the Keynote addresses were absolutely fantastic, as we heard from the like of the Chairmen of Ford Motors, Travelocity, the Geek Squad and others. (Please see my “Report from the World Conference” later in the newsletter.) The added benefit of a “Member-Leaders” day of presentations on Saturday was also very educational, and I will share all the new insights with our Executive Team, at our next meeting. As our Governance Year comes to a close, the Executive Committee wants to thank you for continued support of the Local Section and attendance at our educational dinner meetings and tours. The Exec committee will be conducting a transitions meeting in June for the purpose of turnover of duties and responsibilities to the newly elected Officers and to plan out our goals and objectives for FY-11. Our May 12th meeting had excellent attendance of
nearly 55 members and guests/visitors; and, we feasted on an excellent buffet
from the Eden Resort Inn in The May meeting presenter was none other than our own Senior ASQ Section member Andy Rogish, from BAE systems where he is a Lean 6-Sigma Specialist and certified 6-Sigma Black Belt. Andy’s topic on his lifelong Lean experiences was quite interesting, and filled with humor and knowledge – the title of the talk was: “From Aircraft to Azaleas – Lean Lessons Learned,” and Andy conveyed how lean principles in quality could be used to enhance the operations of growers, as well as the makers of any manufactured item. Thank you. Greg Gurican,
Chair ASQ Section 503 |
