Personalize Your Email Options with ASQ
Many members can eliminate the flood of ASQ emails by opting out of all emails. That way they often miss the chance of voicing their opinions and getting last minute news from the local section. Members have a great deal of choice in what emails they receive and which to eliminate. ASQ gives us the choice of opting in or out for three major categories:
- Member Communications
- Newsletters
- ASQ Products & Services

2012 Membership Survey Summary Results
One item that was echoed in the survey was to have more meetings and events in NYC. The Education and Program Committee (EPC) has been diligently searching for a restaurant in NYC to replace Murano’s/Delmonico’s. We had EPC meetings in several NYC locations that were either too small to handle our average meeting attendance, not private (quiet) enough to hear a presentation or did not have an appropriate space to set-up a screen to view a presentation. If you have suggestions for a location that would meet our needs, please answer that survey question in our 2013 Membership Survey coming in August.
You answered that 92% of the respondents do not attend refresher courses. We removed that category from the survey for this year.
We need to find out why only 58% of our respondents attend Section Meetings.
We shortened the survey to make it easier to complete (5 – 10 minutes).
This follow-up survey is an attempt to get more information from you to help us focus in on your priorities and to deliver:
The courses you are asking for and to find out what days, nights, or weekends are most convenient for you.
What type of Social Events would you find Fun and Entertaining?
You told us that you enjoy Plant Tours. We need to know who can lead a Plant Tour Event.
The Education and Program Committee (EPC) is excited to hear about your needs and wants for the upcoming year. Please look for the 2013 Membership Survey coming in August via e-mail and on the Section website.

Teen Stem Day Invitation
On Friday March 21, 2014, high school students from all around Bergen County will converge upon Bergen Community College in Paramus New Jersey to take part in hands-on workshops in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.). The goal is to open the minds of these young people to the various career opportunities in the S.T.E.M. fields as they participate in the SECOND ANNUAL TEEN S.T.E.M. Day!
We are looking for volunteers to help host/teach one of these sessions. Students will be anticipating exciting and engaging hands-on activities and we look forward to your help offering these experiences to them! We are also looking for volunteers with information tables at lunch regarding Careers in S.T.E.M.
Please fill out the following form by August 1, 2013. A member of the committee will get back to you with additional details.
Our inaugural event, held in the winter of 2012, was highly regarded by the student participants and received a great deal of media attention including The Bergen Record, the Patch, and various local television spots.
