Hello and welcome to the NY/NJ Metropolitan Section of the American Society for Quality (ASQ). I
encourage you explore our site see what makes up our organization.
In my second year as Section Chair, I plan on continuing to build upon the strong foundation set by our
past chairs in providing our members with educational programs, engaging section events and opportunities to network with other quality professionals. Our approach is simple and straightforward.
“Provide an atmosphere for learning and a platform to expand the principles that make up ASQ.”
So I invite you to visit us during one of our upcoming EVENTS. This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow members; learn a little more about our section and get a taste of the programs we offer throughout the year.
In addition, if you would like to work on some exciting projects and become involved within the section, I invite you to contact anyone of the Committee Chairs to get started. Please visit this page for their contact information.
Please feel free to contact me via e-mail if you have any questions.
See you at the next meeting……
Regards,
Sandor G. Juhasz, Chair
NY/NJ Metropolitan Section

In part the citation reads:
“For the interdisciplinary collaborative application of quality methods, both within and beyond the quality profession’s traditional scope, with an emphasis on career development and nurturing the growth of professions’ future leaders.”
Austin will join the growing list of past medal recipients.
The presentation of the medal will take place on Sunday afternoon, May 5th prior to ASQ’s annual business meeting which will take place as part of ASQ’s World Conference on Quality and Improvement to be held at the Indianapolis Convention Center in Indianapolis IN May 6 – 8, 2013.
“The Feigenbaum Medal is presented to the individual who is 35 years of age or younger, who has displayed outstanding characteristics of leadership, professionalism, and potential in the field of quality and also whose work has been or, will become of distinct benefit to mankind.”
“The enemy of great is good.” – Jim Collins
With over 100,000 members in over 129 countries, the American Society for Quality remains the premier global organization for the profession, promoting quality as a rigorous, multi-functional culture of conducting business and fostering customer-driven growth. Improving from good to great is in the profession’s DNA and it is this heritage that the Metropolitan Section’s members strive to hone and enhance.
The NY/NJ Metropolitan Section’s founding members in the 1940s included the seminal thought leaders of the profession with names such as William Edwards Deming, Joseph Juran, Mason Wescott, Harold Dodge, and Walter Shewhart. As the elected Chair of the New York/ New Jersey Metropolitan Section, I am thrilled to be part of this great organization and participate in its storied tradition.
Along with the Metropolitan Executive Leadership Team and associated Committee Chairs, we benefit greatly from having the shoulders of such giants to stand upon, but tradition alone hardly equates with current and future progress. Rather, it will take the collaboration throughout our own talented membership internal to Metropolitan as well as through other organizations external to ASQ in order to diligently maintain a stance of stable, productive growth. We are continually seeking members who are passionate in contributing their personal expertise to the section and ultimately, to the entirety of the quality profession while furthering the section’s legacy into the decades to come.

We plan to focus our efforts on training and certification courses in order to provide our members with a more competitive edge out there in today’s job market. As Chair, I would like to enhance our website as well, with more links to job postings and career-oriented events throughout the area.
I look forward to this upcoming year, we have an exciting program and as always I encourage you to check our schedule of events on our website often. I can say from years of first hand experience that participation on the Executive Board has been rewarding both personally and professionally. Where else can you come have a great FREE dinner and watch the exciting drama that goes on at our board meetings? We are a spirited group with a great sense of humor, but also a sense of great purpose and responsibility.

I look forward to serving you,

I was very fortunate during the past two years. I received sound advice from many Past Chairman. In many cases they gave suggestions and a consensus of opinions to help guide me in areas that had previously been foreign to me. I was privileged to have the opportunity to work with an Executive Committee that gave limitlessly of themselves. In some cases the committee chairs took on an added role of responsibility such as the Education Chair taking on the responsibility of coordinating and arranging the Monthly Membership Meeting Programs. In fact our Membership Chair even ran a meeting that packed the house for a presentation on Managing the China Supply Chain. The Treasurer, Dak Murthy, ran full day courses on statistics, and basic auditing, But the success of the Leadership of this section… Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary would never have been possible without the entire NY/NJ Metropolitan membership’s commitment to our success.
I would need pages to even begin listing all of those who contributed their time to make all that was accomplished possible. I just want to assure each and every one of my sincere gratitude for either volunteering or attending our meetings, functions, and programs to have this section been so successful.
I need to summarize some of the many programs that have made this section so very exciting and unique:
On the horizon is the Metropolitan Section’s sponsorship of an ASQ Student Section at NJIT.
Let’s all try to continue our involvement and attendance at the various functions and programs planned for next year. Please see our web site for complete information on forthcoming scholarships, meetings, conferences and events.
I would like to personally acknowledge and thank the following for the exceptional service the following have rendered to the section:
Chairman’s award: Russ Ferreti, Chairman of Education/Membership Meeting Programs
Chairman’s award: Sue Watson, Vice Chair, SMP and Scholarship
Committee
Exceptional Service Award: Bill Martin, Registrar
Total Quality Award:
It has been a great honor to have the following recognized and presented the Membership Leaders Excellence Awards for their outstanding commitment to ASQ and their communities:
And thanks to the ASQ for including me, Joe Paperman
As I now move to the position of Past Chairman, I do so with enthusiasm and optimism. We have a new slate of officers and committee chairs to lead us into another exciting couple
of years.
Please consider calling and being an involved member with the new officer’s:
Naturally, I hope that no one is offended if they have not been personally mentioned. It is quite difficult to recall all the folks that have put forth their time. I also could not have done this without the support of my wife. Mimi has been very supportive with the commitment of time that was necessary.
I want to wish everyone a wonderful summer and I am looking forward to seeing many of you throughout the year at the Membership Meetings for networking and education via our programs next year that begins with the August meeting.
