Reason you wanted to be a volunteer:
ASQ 702 was not
satisfying my needs as a member in 2002. Instead of complaining, I
decided to do something about it and make a difference. I wanted to
turn the section around and prevent it from disbanding and leaving
hundreds of members stranded with no local ASQ section to advance
their knowledge and careers.
Best experience / most rewarding /memorable as a volunteer these
past two years as Chair?
Working with my diverse staff on the
Executive Board; seeing the impact we made to drastically change the
section around 180 degrees from previous years; hearing that our
members are happy with the positive changes we've made and that they
appreciate our efforts; and presenting the awards to my team at the
recognition ceremony in June 2003 and 2004.
My Quality Quotes / Philosophies:
1) Quality is a way of life.
It has to be a part of you. But the most important thing is the
Quality of your life. The quality time you spend with your family,
friends and colleagues is the most valuable thing in life.
2)
Know thy customer, Know thy customers needs, Satisfy thy
customer.
