Special Message From the Publisher of Quality Magazine
More than 48 years ago, Quality Magazine printed its first issue and since then we have continued to grow in how we communicate with you.
In addition to our print edition, we use video, audio and webinars at Quality Online (www.qualitymag.com); networking, jobs and discussion at Quality Magazine LinkedIn; and news, products and features on Quality Update e-newsletters as new means of communicating with you. We will continue to offer you ALL of these - print, electronic and events - while we also look toward adding more in the future.
While other publishers are eliminating these important ways of communicating with you, Quality Magazine continues to invest. We know that each issue of Quality Magazine continues to be where you start your monthly education and information search about quality and improving your manufacturing process. Quality Online, Quality LinkedIn, Quality Update e-newsletters, are some of the ways we continue to help you find that education and information you seek each month.
We continue to look for new ways to communicate with you, using the best that technology has to offer, without abandoning our 48-year foundation as a print magazine. Thomas Sloma-Williams, Publisher Quality Magazine
