Outgoing Chair Message - Fred Martin

As the outgoing Chair of Section 1402, I want to give my thanks for the privilege of serving you. Thanks to the Leadership Team for your support this past year. The last few months have gone by quickly; it has been a great experience. I will be transitioning to the Nomination Chair this summer.

We all join ASQ for many different reasons, participating in an organization that contributes to business, community, and personnel growth has been a motivator for my continued support of ASQ. ASQ provides members with an opportunity to gain knowledge, diverse viewpoints, and ideas. ASQ opens doors to interact with a large community from which to learn, gain support, and network. I encourage you to stay involved and to recruit others people to experience how quality tools can help to make businesses, communities, and the world a better place.

"Men never plan to be failures; they simply fail to plan to be successful" --  William A. Ward

Best Regards,

Frederick Martin
