Abstract

On the 70th anniversary of ASQ, 70 trivia questions illustrate the society's historical milestones and interesting highlights. Originating in 1946 as the American Society for Quality Control with headquarters in New York City, ASQ has grown in 2016 to having members in over 150 countries and partners with 20 quality-related organizations around the world. The society has 58 enterprise members. It administers 15 standard committees and includes 25 divisions and over 250 sections and subsections. Fascinating facts relate to ASQ's name change, customer care center, clothing and firearms on display at ASQ's Milwaukee headquarters, venturing online in 1994, and sports connections, as well as its historical context. Members are invited to share stories of their experiences in the quality community.
