A
Word from your Section Chair
Our
first event was off to a great start with a dynamic and interesting
presentation from Mr. Livio Di Francesco on Cost of Poor Quality which
led to a very animated and energetic question and answer period. |

History
of ASQ
events we've organized; any more suggestions?
ASQ has recently formalized the role of Voice of the Customer or "VOC" Chair. One of its "Specific Duties and Responsibilities" is to "Be an advocate for member value, satisfaction, and loyalty.". For quite some time now, your Section Leadership Team has been asking you for input on what you need, want, would be interested in, and how happy you are with what we do, using all sorts of tools like surveys at our events, requests via our newsletter, discussions in our Internet based networking groups like Yahoo (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Quality_Montreal) & LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/90170/0FE5E069F508), etc. So, while we'll continue using these vehicles to get your thoughts on what you would like us to do, I'll start using the new tools now available for VOC Chairs, e.g. Internet surveys. You have my word we'll keep them brief and not too frequent so as not to overwhelm your e-mails or time. Along those lines, in order to satisfy our members, we're always searching for topics of interest to them. One of the recent activities my colleagues Chantale Simard (Newsletter Editor) & Norman Dickinson (Internet Liaison) have helped me with is to post a historical listing of events we've organized over the past few years. To get to it, simply go to our web site, i.e. http://www.asqmontreal.qc.ca and then click on the "A History of Events Held by ASQ Montreal" link. For the more recent events, you'll actually have a link to our e-newsletter archive that covered that event. The idea for posting this is not only to demonstrate what we've organized for the section over the years but also to provide stimulus as to what might be of interest for future events, i.e. hearing your voice on what you would like to have. Here's where you come in. Please send any and all pertinent ideas for future events to a member of your Leadership Team, preferably to our Program Chair Mitchell Daudier but any other Leadership Team member (VOC Chair, Newsletter Editor, Internet Liaison, etc.) will do as well. For example, someone recently suggested "Quality in construction". Do you have any suggestions? |
