Section 1128 was founded in May 1991 by fourteen members of the Hampton Roads ASQC Section 1114, because of geographical challenges getting between the “Southside” and the “Peninsula”.

The ASQ Tidewater Section serves the communities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, and Suffolk. We also have members from as far away as Elizabeth City, NC and Franklin, VA.

Over the years Section 1128 has grown to over 160 members. These individuals form a tight knit community in promoting the ideals of ASQ.
