RECOGNITION IS PRICELESS! - Nominations being sought for ASQ Fellows

Now is the time to recognize all those Section 509 members who have made a lasting contribution and who have devoted themselves to furthering the Quality movement by referring them to the ASQ Fellow Nomination Committee! 

Section 509 currently has five (5) ASQ Fellows, including W. Edwards Deming.  And judging by the quality of work (no pun intended) exhibited by our Section members, we believe we have many more who are eligible to receive this prestigious recognition.  If you or someone you know has been an ASQ Senior Member for at least 5 years prior to January 1, 2010, has at least 15 years of service, has gained distinction in one or more of the following areas:  planning or operation of quality-related work activities; teaching a major course in a quality-related academic discipline in an accredited school or institution; or developing, expounding on or directing the work of original theories, principles or techniques, and is potentially qualified as defined in ASQ Policy G 02.02H and as outlined in the ASQ Fellow Matrix of  Requirements, then please initiate the recognition.

To begin the process, submit the "Fellow nomination" contact information to Tony Arnold via email at  Nominations@asq509.org before February 1, 2010.  Completed Fellows Matrix and supporting data must be provided to Tony before March 15, 2010 for evaluation.  Upon approval by the Section 509 Board, final selection will be made by the ASQ National Committee.

Let ASQ 509 help you achieve the recognition you deserve; it’s priceless!
