Message from the Chair Bill Forthofer
I would like to take this opportunity to again thank you, our membership, for your continued support of ASQ Hartford Section this past year. We welcome new Leadership positions: Roy Duff Treasurer, Stephen Gabbert Secretary, Vivian Vidal Otero Membership Chair, and Nicole Boney-Sharpe Publicity Chair. A special thanks to Joe Brzoska who completed his term as Hartford ASQ Treasurer. Joe has graciously volunteered to be part of our Awards Committee.
Our Programs Committee, chaired by Dennis Gareau, as well as our Education Committee, “New” Chair Mark Roy, continue to be extremely busy over the last few months lining up presenters for our Monthly Membership Meetings as well as continuing our Education Courses/Workshops. We are all set with Membership Events through June of 2019. You can now view previous event presentations on our Website.
We have also been successful in scheduling the CQE/CQT, CMQ/OE & CQA Courses that start in February/finish in May. Classes are held at the Central Connecticut State University Institute of Technology and Business Development. See Table Below: Note those listed as TBD are still under development. Please provide feedback to the Education Chair if you have an interest in being an Instructor or ideas for Quality Topics to be considered. Visit ASQHartford.org for Registration & more information.
