The
Editor's Corner
Je tiens
à écrire un mot au sujet du terrible
séisme qui vient de frappé Haïti mardi.
Comme je suis la dernière à écrire
dans ce Newsletter, j’offre au nom de la section
Montréal de l’ASQ et en mon nom, nos plus
sincères condoléances, nos vœux de
courage et tout notre appui à tous ceux d’entre
vous qui sont affectés par cette catastrophe majeure, de
même qu’au peuple Haïtien. Que le
Québec, le Canada ainsi que toute la communauté
internationale viennent en aide à tous les survivants.
Revenons à Montréal si vous le voulez. As you know, we are celebrating our 60th anniversary this year and we have prepared for you a special event this January.

A
Word from your Section Chair
Here we
are moving into 2010 which will see the
ASQ Montreal Section 401 celebrating its 60th year anniversary, please
do not miss this event which will be a great opportunity to come and
learn about the history of ASQ in Montreal.
We all know of the challenges that last year brought and according to various forecasts 2010 is likely to have it’s share of challenges as well. One way to help yourself meet these challenges is by expanding your circle of influence and networking opportunities which ASQ offers. Some of the areas/topics we presented last year: Financial Tools, Change Management, Risk Management, and discussed Working with Numbers; Pareto, Check Sheets, Histogram, Working with Ideas; Brainstorming, Fishbone, Force Field and some we are planning to present this year: Pharmaceutical, Aerospace, Supply Chain. For those considering a career as a Quality Professional not only I encourage you to join as a member but you should also consider taking courses and/or obtaining certification from ASQ in order to get recognition for your expertise and qualifications. We are always interested in your comments and feedback how your ASQ section can serve you better so please do not hesitate to contact us. Please come and join us for great evenings of learning’s and networking. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. |
