The Government Division has taken a strong stand on electoral accountability. It is time for the Lean Six Sigma conference to do the same and start negotiating a new home for the Lean Six Sigma Conference. It is clear that the elected officials of Arizona do not support accountability and following the data. Instead, we see a state government thriving off fear, lies, and bad-faith practices.

The ASQ, and the lean and six sigma community, need to stand up for integrity and the strength of the truth. It is time to align action and thought and find a new home for the LSS conference.
