Quality is in the eyes of the beholder, thus, "we know it when we see it.” While there are various definitions for quality, most can agree that it in some way relates to "excellence” and this is where ASQ fits in. ASQ is a global leader in quality; it consists of a community of passionate people who use quality tools, ideas and expertise to make our world better. ASQ’s tagline is "Excellence through Quality” and its mission is to "empower individuals and communities of the world to achieve excellence through quality.”
I have been an ASQ member since 1990 and have served continuously as an ASQ member leader (aka volunteer) for 30-plus years. One of the many benefits of volunteering is the opportunity to observe, up close, how ASQ goes about practicing what it preaches. Like all organizations, ASQ is not perfect, but it is the preeminent source for quality information, education, publications, certifications, conferences, quality related recognition, and much more. ASQ’s dedicated staff and its more than 2,500 member leaders are continually working to expand and improve upon its offerings in order to deliver an exceptional membership experience and, more importantly, add value to the global quality community.
