Strategic Planning for Section 614
Section 614 provides ASQ local services to a very large and sparsely populated region of Washington and Oregon. As such, we recognize that few people can make it to a central location for membership meetings. Our Section is committed to providing services and opportunities to participate to all our members. We strive to conduct our business using low-maintenance means, recognizing that members have other calls for their time, including job, family, and leisure. The Section is hopefully a part of a member's life, but not a burden. As such, the following services and activities are a priority:
1. Certification and Recertification services
2. A monthly newsletter
3. Monthly general membership meetings from September to June, including approximately two site visits per year. Note: these meetings generally occur in the Tri Cities, but meetings and site visits at locations away from the Tri Cities are encouraged, as supported by local volunteer efforts.
Our Section also recognizes diversity of opinions and interests amongst its members. We strive to offer a variety of topics in the newsletter and membership meetings through the course of the year. As long as there is an interest by a Section member to put forth a topic in the Quality Body of Knowledge, we will support scheduling and providing a venue for such a topic.
Volunteers to particapate on the leadership team are always welcome. The leadership team meets at least once a quarter or more often as needed.
We will meet the minimum requirements established by ASQ for maintenance of Section status, and will go beyond that minimum status as its members deem appropriate, and are willing to voluntarily support.
