The American Society for Quality (ASQ) has witnessed a transformative year for the Certified Construction Quality Manager (CCQM) program.

Back in 2017 I was honored by receiving the Grant Medal at WCQI. 

Like many professionals, my introduction to ASQ began with a very practical goal: certification. At the time, I was focused on strengthening my technical foundation and building credibility in the field of quality. 

Becoming a Fellow in a professional society such as the American Society for Quality (ASQ), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), American Institute of Architects (AIA), or Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is a recognition of sustained achievement throughout one’s career, not merely a starting point. 

I have had numerous bosses over my 40+ year career. A few were great, most were good, and several were terrible. Coinciding with my career has been the opportunity to serve as a member leader (aka volunteer) for ASQ, something I have done continuously since 1992. 

The ASQ Fellows community has long served as a source of insight, stewardship, and forward-looking leadership for the Society. 

We all have likes and dislikes. When I was young, I liked to wear sneakers and play; what kid didn’t? Sunday mornings were the worst; not only did attending church cut into playtime, but I had to dress up and wear shoes.

In the ever-evolving landscape of quality management, where innovation meets unwavering commitment, the ASQ Fellows community stands as a beacon of excellence.

Was there a spark that ignited your professional journey? Maybe it was a person, an experience, a moment that set or changed the direction of your career. 

At ASQ’s 2025 World Conference on Quality and Improvement (WCQI) I had the opportunity to speak from the ‘big stage’ about community.
