Chair's Message

September 2025

ASQ dissolved the Pine Tree section. The members moved to Granite State with a significant increase in both the number of members and the geographic diversity. Granite State now has members living in Ireland, Cameroon, and Great Britan. The details are in the demographics section of the newsletter.

I sent a welcome letter to the members who transferred from Pine Tree and received some nice comments about the transition.

We are planning to hold at least one meeting in Maine (probably Portland) this year. We will announce the meeting when the plans are final.

Other sections are planning their fall meetings; information about some of the meetings is below. Granite State members are welcome to attend and earn RUs. Some of the meetings are on-line, so there is an opportunity to attend without travel.

The Vermont section is holding its first conference on September 15th-16th, 2025. Three members of Granite State are presenting, so Granite State has good representation.

We would like to know about members who have recently earned a new certification. Please contact Dan O’Leary, the Section Chair, at doleary@memberleader.asq.org so we can announce your achievement in the Newsletter.

There are many opportunities to become involved. We need people to join the SLT, to speak at Membership Meetings, and to write Professional Development articles for this newsletter. To become involved please contact Dan O’Leary, the Section Chair, at doleary@memberleader.asq.org
