Chair's Message

August 2026

The Fall Season is shaping up to be very exciting.

We have programs lined up for our three planned meetings in New Hampshire.

September is a plant tour of Masimo Semiconductor in Hudson, NH. October is our Joint Meeting with NH MEP. Chiara Pulice is scheduled to present. December is Your World is Not Red or Green – Best Practices in Data Display by Rip Stauffer.

For Maine, the September topic is Six-Sigma Journeys Through the Cannabis Industry by Francis J. Boero Ph.D., CFS. October and November are still in the planning stage.

The education program is not complete, but we are planning four paid webinars in the fall as well as one on-line workshop.

We are continuing with the quarterly Granite State Reading Group. The 2026Q3 article is “Unlocking Improvement” from the April 2026 issue of Quality Progress. Make your comments in the thread on myASQ.

The elections for some of the leadership positions are underway. The nomination period closes on Monday August 24, 2026, so be sure to make your nominations.

The election period will run from September 14, 2026 to October 12, 2026. When you receive the ballot, be sure to vote by following the instructions.

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