Welcome

Our members have been enjoying the hands on workshops that happen before dinner at our monthly meetings. It is a great time of learning as well as a perfect opportunity to socialize and network. The buffet dinners have been fantastic! They are so abundant with several varieties of dishes that they are sure to please everyone's taste! If you have not been attending the monthly dinner meetings, you are truly missing out some of the best people, topics, speakers and food! We encourage you to take part in our introduction time where all available job opportunities are announced. The door prizes have been pretty cool, too! If you are not attending the monthly dinner meetings, please contact Ann Warmuth Ann.Warmuth@staples.com, our section chair, to help you with any questions you may have."

Be sure to checkout our website for up-to-date reminders of training, events and much, much more. Please take advantage of the "My Settings" feature on the homepage. This allows you to view and post jobs as well as helping with keeping to track events or previous ASQ purchases. By using this feature you will automatically receive email reminders of upcoming dinner meetings and events. Stay tuned for a plant tour coming in May! Details to coming soon!
