And if you’re interested in helping, we can use your talents to move our plans along even faster… How would you like the opportunity to tell our members about some of the neat things you’re doing at work?? We could combine 3 or 4 members into a Tutorial where each would give a 10 minute talk about something cool they’d like to share. Let me or another leadership member know, if you’re interested (we don’t call them Professional Development Dinner Meetings for nothing). Well, that’s all for now.

Not to worry...ASQ members will not experience any changes to their benefits and the section will operate as usual during this transition. Many of the great volunteers that are part of our section's senior leadership team (SLT) have agreed to extend their service to the section through the end of 2013. Then, the new officers that were elected just this month will start their term in January 2014 for the new 2014 program year. no http://www.asqhouston.org/en/art/438/ Jamison Kovach - noemail@asqhouston.org Sat, 27 Apr 2013 03:00:00 GMT Articles http://www.asqhouston.org/en/art/436/ <p>&nbsp;</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" > <tbody> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0" > <tbody> <tr> <td> <div ><img alt="ASQ Greater Houston Section 1405" src="http://asqhouston.org/images/logo.jpg" /></div> <hr /> <div>&nbsp;</div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="1" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0" > <tbody> <tr> <td> <div> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" > <tbody> <tr> <td> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div> <p><br> <br> Welcome to the American Society for Quality (ASQ) Greater Houston Section 1405 newsletter of upcoming events, articles, jobs and more from our membership.<br> &nbsp;</p> <div> <ol> <li><a href="#calendarevents">Calendar Events</a></li> <li><a href="#articles">Articles</a></li> <li><a href="#jobs">Job Listings</a></li> </ol> </div> <p>To log into the site, visit <a href="http://www.asqhouston.org/en/">http://www.asqhouston.org/en/</a> and enter your Username and Password.</p> <blockquote>&nbsp;</blockquote> <p>If you have any questions please contact the Site Administrator.</p> <hr /> <p><strong><a id="calendarevents" name="calendarevents"></a>Calendar Events for 11-Apr-13 to 1-Jul-13</strong></p> <strong><a href="http://www.asqhouston.org/en/cev/83/" target="_blank">April Professional Development Dinner Meeting</a></strong><br> <strong>Speaker's Name: </strong>David MacLEan \ Steven M Stelzer \ Scott Frankel, Project Manager \ Program Director \ Executive Director, Frankel Building Group \ US Green Building Council<br> <strong>Day</strong>: Thursday 18-Apr-13 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM<br> <strong>Location</strong>: United Way of Greater Houston 50 Waugh Drive Houston, TX 77007<br> <strong>Summary</strong>: LEED-Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-A Three Person Panel Discussion with John M DiIorio, Moderator LEED has become one of the most exciting and popular developments in archi...<br> <a href="http://www.asqhouston.org/en/cev/reg/83/" >Register</a> <a href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?&amp;country=&amp;address=50+Waugh+Drive&amp;city=Houston&amp;state=TX&amp;zipcode=77007" ><img alt="Mapquest Link" src="http://www.asqhouston.org/tresources/en/images/icons/star12x12.gif" />Mapquest</a> | <a href="http://www.asqhouston.org/en/cev/ical/?83" ><img alt="Generate iCalendar file to add to Outlook" src="http://www.asqhouston.org/tresources/en/images/icons/vcalendar12x12.gif" />Add to Calendar</a><br> <strong>Posted by</strong>: Keith Pache<br> <br> <strong><a href="http://www.asqhouston.org/en/cev/89/" target="_blank">AVON Walk for Breast Cancer</a></strong><br> <strong>Speaker's Name: </strong><br> <strong>Day</strong>: Saturday 20-Apr-13 8:00 AM to Sunday 21-Apr-13 2:00 PM<br> <strong>Location</strong>:<br> <strong>Summary</strong>: AVON Walk for Breast Cancer Need 1 volunteer for Saturday 4/20 and 1 for Sunday 4/21 to drive with staff and close rest stops after walkers pass by.

It was probably the best run District Camporee I've ever attended!! The weather was perfect, the activities were well organized, the boys did a great job setting up & running their camp, and I was able to snap a few pictures and enjoy it all. The boys from all the troops in our area participated in tomahawk throwing, fire building, cooking, rope work, first aid, plant & wildlife identification, blindfold paint ball shooting, campfire skits, etc. There were even a few friendly games of soccer and football going on in between scheduled activities. I hear the planning committee started organizing the event over a year ago - and they did a great job!! It reminded me a lot of our own ASQ Houston 1405 Section. We have a great group of volunteers (our Section Leadership Team and their committees), working tirelessly to organize events and activities for you, our Section members. I don't know about competitions (hmmm that gives me an idea), but we certainly have a good time learning from each other and talk about "quality things" happening in our work and personal lives. Here are some ways you can get involved to make our Section even better: Want to help-out at an event or one of our committees - just let us know!! Want to show-off your company's products & services - how about hosting a tour for fellow ASQ members?? Have an idea for an educational Tutorial - we'd love to hear from you!! Know somebody that's a great speaker - let us know and they could be our next hit Dinner Speaker!! Like Boy Scouts, ASQ is a volunteer-run organization, so let us know how you want to get involved!!
