Member Leader Events

In addition to the official WCQI activities, we look forward to connecting with you as Member Leaders for ASQ.

On Sunday, May 7, 2023, we will offer a focused day of activities specifically developed with you in mind to share best practices, recognize outstanding performance, and celebrate the accomplishments of ASQ’s Technical and Geographic Communities.

We will start the day together in the Pennsylvania Convention Center before GCC and TCC meetings followed by educational breakouts. We’re very excited about the slate of topics we’ve developed to assist in making your roles easier while enhancing member value. We will then transition to the Annual Business Meeting followed by the Opening Reception in the Exhibit Hall.
