ASQ isn’t built by a few leaders at the top — it’s built by all of us
by Janet Lentz
You don’t need a title, decades of experience, or a certification to contribute to ASQ.
Every member brings something valuable to the table:
• Sharing lessons learned from your work or personal experiences
• Asking thoughtful questions
• Volunteering at the section or division level
• Mentoring - or being mentored
• Writing, speaking, or simply showing up and engaging
Quality is a team sport. ASQ thrives because people at every career stage choose to participate, collaborate, and give back in ways that fit their time, skills, and interests.
Whether you contribute an idea, an hour, or your experience - it all matters. And the impact ripples far beyond any one role or committee.
If you’ve ever wondered “Do I have something to offer?
The answer is yes. You already do.
