ASQ, QMD, CMC, T&D!

ASQ, QMD, CMC, T&D!

I have to say that there’s something satisfying about being able to type a long string of acronyms all at once.  I’ve recently been accepted to the ASQ Quality Management Division’s Content Management Committee for Training and Development.

What does this mean?  On a volunteer basis, I contact various professionals about current opportunities.  The Content Management Committee is seeking articles for the Spring 2019 issue of the Quality Forum.  This is a peer reviewed journal that reaches 20,000 professionals worldwide.  Do you have a success story or a horror story about training or development? We want to hear from you!

Without further ado, here’s the presentation–
