2010 Schedule

The 2010 Meeting Schedule is posted on the Calendar page. Please make a note in your schedules. We're always busy, but if everyone could plan on attending at least four meetings each year, we will be able to add some value to each other through knowledge sharing. We are still open for meeting presentation topics. Anyone who would like to prepare a 20 minute talk on a quality technique or issue, please contact us.

Do you have a Skill you can Share?

We are looking for people who have a particular skill they are willing to share with others in the community. It can be shared with any organization, not just businesses. It may be related to quality but that's not necessary. You may want a fee, or not. Tell us what you can share, and we will contact you for the specifics and list your services on the site.

Do you belong to another Professional Organization?

We are always interested in sharing professional insights among organizations. We are currently enjoying shared activities with the International Standards Association. Perhaps your organization would like to link with us, or maybe your organization does not have a local section. Then tell us and let's see if we can provide a broader service and opportunity for learning throughout the community.
