We Will Never Forget

By Fiona McAllister posted 5 days ago
Today marks 23 years since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks that forever changed New York City and the nation. Nearly 3,000 people were killed when al Qaida hijackers crashed four jetliners into the twin towers, the Pentagon and a field in southwest Pennsylvania. On this day every morning for the past 23 years, families who lost loved ones in the worst terror attack on American soil make the solemn trek to observe the six moments of silence, hear the reading of the names, and fulfill a sacred promise to never forget . As years pass, more and more names are being read by children and young adults born after the attacks - as an older generation ...

ASQ Phoenix - Message from the Chair - September 2024

By Barbara Banek posted 9 days ago
Chair’s Message – September 2024 Greetings valued ASQ Phoenix Section Members – Fall will be upon us this month, but it doesn’t quite feel like it in the valley just yet, does it? With so many records broken this summer due to the heat, it’s difficult to believe that cooler days are on the way.

Arizona is known for many things, but I hear the intense heat mentioned most often in conversations! The onset of fall is also a busy time for ASQ sections. It is during this time of year that your section leadership is busy planning ...
