I am glad collaboration is a theme for ASQ Rochester this year because it keeps coming up. Two months ago I wrote about collaboration efforts with the Greater Rochester Quality council (GRQC), the Rochester Technology and Manufacturers Association (RTMA), and the ASQ NextGen initiative. Today we now have a collaboration policy to help us maintain and grow these relationships.

ASQ Rochester March 2021 Newsletter

03/01/2021

In December, our regional director appointed our section’s leadership committee to revitalize our section. Eric Alden: Chair, Virginia Carr: Treasurer, and Lori Cohen: Secretary. We have been working hard pulling many great individuals together, and I am proud to say that this year’s 2021 programs and activities are coming together! It is hard to believe we are already in March! It has been a most incredibly unusual year. We need to take a moment of silence to respect those whom we have lost and be so grateful of the many that have recovered. I am going to focus on the positive and give thanks to all the quality professionals involved in all aspects of our lives! Vaccines have been developed and validated; many employees have learned how to successfully work remotely; supply chains have been restored and food supplies have been maintained. Excitingly, NASA and JPL successfully placed a new rover on Mars!!! I am optimistic that life will become normal again and that the lost jobs will return!!!

February is “Love your Quality Professional Month”!!!

Our leadership committee has been revitalized and we are enthusiastically putting the plans together to make our brainstormed events come to fruition! The key to revitalization is sufficient ingredients and an environment to ignite a spontaneous reaction called SYNERGY!!!
