Welcome to the ASQ Middle Tennessee Section 1118 website!
We are excited to provide this website as a valuable resource to not only our members, but also to the community at-large.
We also have a Facebook page (click on the logo above); participation is encouraged, but not a requirement to be a member of Section 1118. For this to be effective for intrasectional communication, we'll all have to be friends with other members of our section.
We will be using the website email system to provide The Paradigm newsletter to you each month. Thank you for continuing to accept email from ASQ in order to help us greatly reduce mailing costs and to be a more environmentally friendly organization.
Members who do not accept email or do not provide an email address to ASQ will only receive a quarterly postcard to meet our commitment to communicate with our members.
Please visit www.asq.org for complete information about the American Society for Quality or to update your profile to accept email or add an email address.
