We are nearing the end of this term with only a couple meetings remaining and I wanted to take a moment to thank those people that have taken the lead in making our section the best it can be... Certainly I could name the committee chairs and the officers; but, the ones that make the difference are the ones that attend the meetings and take an active part in supporting the organization whether it is in a lead position or just by keeping "Quality" alive in the places where they work...
The people that epitomize this dedication and determination to make "Quality" a priority are those we all know, if we have been to a meeting or had a special need or concern. These people take the time to discover what is needed and then they "get it done" by involving others and, in some cases, will do it themselves... It is amazing to watch such a person and I certainly admire the qualities that they possess... They are always available o listen to a complaint, a suggestion or just a nice conversation. They take the time to research and learn how changes may affect others and the organization. If they see a need they make sure it gets to the right place to be addressed... There are many people who may fit this description to varying degrees but I want to say a special thanks to Sandi Reynolds (past chair) and Larry Aft (chair elect)... These are two people that are truly leaders with distinction... Our section would not be where it is today without their leadership and your support...
Thanks!!!

Joseph M. Juran, 1904-2008
A pioneering architect of the science of managing for quality, Joseph M. Juran, passed away February 28 at the age of 103. Known as the "father" of quality, he said, "It is most important that top management be quality-minded. In the absence of sincere manifestation of interest at the top, little will happen below."
