New for 2010-2011:
The Section Membership Chair is now recognized by ASQ National as an officer position to focus each Section’s attention on renewing and gaining members. This year the Section is asking for volunteers to help contact lapsed members and new members to help the section retain members. The membership committee chair is Chris Connors (see contacts page for his contact info) and we are asking for 10 section members to volunteer 1 hour a month to connect with new and lapsed members. All membership committee volunteers have the added benefit of becoming eligible for the Section Certification Scholarship that will pay for up to $350 for the certification fee each year for Section members/Membership Committee members who have passed one of the ASQ certifications. Requirements for the Certification Scholarship are listed below:
1. ASQ Philly Section membership
2. Volunteer as a Membership Committee member for at least 6 months.
3. Collect feedback from 10 new and/or lapsed members each month – a contact form will be provided and the data must be sent to the Membership Chair each month.
4. Successfully pass an ASQ certification – see ASQ.org for the listing of the 18 certifications that range from $155 to $300 for the fees.
5. Submit the certification documentation by June 30 or earlier for reimbursement of the certification fee.
The Certification Scholarship qualification begins now, so contact Chris Connors ASAP.
