ASQ Canada - Links to PAR, Leadership, Student Branch, and Career Center

I am providing the content which I sent to the leadership group of each ASQ Section in Canada (and yes, I did have contact information for all 16 sections).


Good evening,

I am communicating some action items arising from the recent ASQ Canada leadership call on Feb. 20.  I hope that you will review this material and apply this in your respective Member-Leader activities.

I have captured and summarized some necessary guidelines and hyperlinks related to the following areas pertinent to your ASQ Sections.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.  For your benefit and convenience, I have copied this message to the contact people who can support your successful implementation of these items.  I encourage you to reach out to them with any specific questions, as they are all part of the greater ASQ team committed to your success as Member Leaders.

ASQ PAR GOOD STANDING REQUIREMENTS (Cynthia Nazario)

This refers to the operating requirements that all ASQ Member Units, including ASQ Sections, must fulfill as a condition for recognition by ASQ.  In the interest of transparency and governance, it is essential that ASQ Sections are led by named members who are paid up and personally in good standing with ASQ, and provide their financial reports and business plans in a timely manner according to the schedule and format below.

ASQ PAR INNOVATION (Cynthia Nazario)

The ASQ provides ASQ Member Units in Good Standing with the opportunity to apply for a PAR Innovation Award, to recognize the delivery of member value to ASQ Members.  As an administrative contingency, I encourage all sections to complete and submit their Intent To Apply form by Monday, March 16, 2015.





ASQ LEADERSHIP SURVEY (Gary Gehring)

As Member Leaders you have been requested to provide your responses to a study that will help to create effective Leadership Development programs within ASQ.  Please respond to the survey by activating the link below, which is also found within the Jan. 30 edition of ASQ Member Leader Friday Fast Facts (How Do You Define Leadership?).



One of the objectives of the Member Leader Training Team is to support member leaders through leadership development. Your participation in a brief survey will help define leadership for ASQ and provide the basis for the development of a leadership curriculum.


ASQ STUDENT MEMBERSHIP (Stephanie Thompson)

This summary, along with the attached presentation, provides your Section with a concise and workable approach to effectively engaging students into the ASQ Section.

Subject: RE: Agenda: ASQ Canada Section Leader Teleconference: February 20, 2015

Region 4 leaders,

Thank you for the opportunity to attend your teleconference monthly meeting on behalf of QMD. We are excited for these quality connections with the sections and future leaders in quality, our student members. Quality is cross functional and what better way to engage many different disciplines than to start at the colleges and universities sharing applicable quality? 

It was great to hear about the focus on students in Hamilton… Lets work to get the students to experience the magic of quality! Free conference registration, scholarships & honorariums, publication opportunities, and establishing quality connections all add value to student members as well as adding diversity to ASQ. Please share the information with your local colleges, universities, communities, and family.

Do not hesitate to reach out with questions, comments, or ideas about supporting student members.

Enjoy your weekend,

Stephanie Thompson
Quality Manager

ASQ CAREER CENTER (Stephanie Gones)

This is the summary of the ASQ Career Center, which communicates job openings through Social Media, and can be integrated with the Section communications.

The ASQ Career Center is part of the Engineering & Science Career Network which is made up of 40 engineering and science associations to create one board geared towards the quality, engineering & science professional.  By posting on ASQ’s job board you are gaining access to our niche market of job seekers and members (74,000), plus you are able to search over 24,000 resumes.  The combined reach of the 40 associations is 850,000.  Your job posting is also fed automatically to ASQ’s LinkedIn and Facebook pages.   

Posting the positions online: 
Rates: The cost to post a job is (USD) $295 member - $495 non-member for 30 days.  Other packages consist of purchasing 60 day posting, or bulk job posting packages to use over the course of 1 year.  We also have a “Featured Jobs” option, which highlights your job on the site for an additional $125/$225.   Membership to ASQ starts at only $99 per year – so it’s well worth the membership fee just for the discount.  However, membership does offer you a lot more.  As a FULL member you also have access to network with local professionals (your Section) as well as industry specific (Division or Forum) members from around the world.   

If you have not posted with us before, you will need to register as a new employer. The system walks you through the posting process and will ask for credit card (MasterCard, Visa or American Express) payment at the end.  Visit our Career Center at http://careers.asq.org/website/employers/steps123.cfm  

If you’re looking for several Employees, you may be interested in exhibiting at ASQ’s World Conference on Quality & Improvement in Nashville, TN.  We have an add on package available for any Exhibitor looking to hire.  It’s a great opportunity to meet several qualified candidates in one location.  http://asq.org/wcqi/2015/exhibitors.aspx

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Stephanie Gones at sgones@asq.org or 800-248-1946 x7256
