The American Society for Quality (ASQ) and The Association for Quality and Participation (AQP) have agreed to an affiliation that could provide a broader range of products and services to both organizations' members.
The affiliation is a "win-win for the quality movement in the United States that will enhance the future of quality with a host of significant benefit exchanges for members," said Gregory H. Watson, president of ASQ. "We share a common vision--the advancement of excellence through quality at all levels, in all areas, whether individual, organizational or community. Working together toward our common goal ensures a healthy future for the quality movement in the United States and worldwide."
