Welcome
Welcome to the Innovation Technical Community
Message from the Chair
Welcome Innovation Technical Community Members:
As we continue on our 2021 Journey together as a community, I’d like to first thank our Founding Leaders, Executive Advisory Members, Officers, and Committee members for enabling us to grow into where we are today. They say it takes a village, and innovation especially fits that bill. When done according to best practices, it serves to positively drive change across the board, while enhancing and bolstering collaboration, communication, and culture change. Additionally, it serves to enable new ideas to be brought forward and actualized, easily and continuously, drawing upon the expertise and creativity of the collective whole.
For 2021, we have chosen this definition of Innovation as our North Star:
2021 promises to be opportunity rich and we have an outstanding set of Innovation offerings and engagement opportunities planned for our members and the Innovation Community overall, including:
For our existing or new members, we invite you to become more involved by micro-volunteering with us or considering a longer term committee or TC leader position. Every interested, capable, innovative, and productive volunteer is welcomed to be a part of our phenomenal community. We are looking to be key to your ASQ success going forward!
2021 Opportunities to collaborate, contribute, and engage include the following:
We celebrate and thank our dedicated officers, advisors, committee leaders, and volunteers who strive to create ongoing value, work through meaningful challenges, and drive innovative solutions daily. We look forward to an INNOVATION FILLED 2021 with each of you!
2021 Innovation Team – Officers
2021 Innovation Team – Executive Advisors & Founding Leaders
