2.) Greetings from the Chair :
Message from the Chair:
Welcome back fellow Quality Associates from a rather short summer break! Hopefully everyone had an extremely relaxing summer and enjoyed all the sites and sounds you may have visited this past summer!
The ASQ Mansfield Section 0811 Board Members have put together yet another exciting schedule for the upcoming year! There are just a few minor details left to finish up and the schedule for 2014/2015 will be finalized!
It begins with another meeting being hosted by some of our very own members at the Stoneridge Control Devices in Lexington, Ohio. Those guys have stepped up and scheduled the food as well as a very nice conference room for the presentation from our very own Teresa Whitacre and the infamous "Purple Squirrel"! The "Purple Squirrel" has been a crafty one and has eluded us on three different occasions but I believe we have finally nailed him down! It will be an enjoyable evening!
So turn off that College Football on September 11, 2014 next Thursday night and come join us for the kickoff of yet another exciting ASQ 2014/2015 Quality season!! Looking forward to seeing ALL your smiling faces and hearing of your summer adventures!!
