ASQ Certification

If you do not yet possess an ASQ Certification in your chosen discipline, it is something that you should definitely consider.

In today's world, where quality competition is a fact of life and the need for a work force proficient in the principles and practices of quality control is a central concern of many companies, certification is a mark of excellence. It demonstrates that the certified individual has the knowledge to assure quality of products and services.

Certification is an investment in your career and in the future of your employer. ASQ is the leading authority on career-boosting certifications for quality professionals, with more than 60 years of experience.

Want to help Our Section?

Thanks to the efforts of our local chapter volunteers, we have received the ASQ Gold Excellence Award. This could not be accomplished without the efforts of members from our local chapter who are dedicated to the growth and improvement of our chapter. The loyalty we receive from the general membership is also paramount to our receiving this award. We are always looking for new dedicated volunteers to help.

ASQ limits executive positions to a maximum of 2 consecutive years.

We are looking for new volunteer's currently employed in a Quality Function to help support some of our projects.

If you can volunteer some time and are interested in a position, call or click on the 'Contact Us' button to email one of the members of the executive committee.

Help keep our Lehigh Valley ASQ Chapter moving forward in a progressive manner

 

Monthly Meetings

Attendance at our monthly meetings has a credit of 0.3 RU per meeting with a maximum of 9.0 RU's over 3 years. This is an easy way to get a high percentage of the 18 credits needed for recertification.
