Dear QUEST Community,
In less than one month, we will be gathering to celebrate twenty years of the QUEST/IBM-TQ program. As you read this special "20th Anniversary Edition" of QUESTPress, we encourage you to reflect on your relationship with the program and how it has impacted your life. Whether it is the friendships that were forged, the lessons learned in classes, or the simple privilege being involved in this amazing program, QUEST has influenced us all.

Sincerely,
The Quality Guild (Joe, Nicole, Jeffrey, Melanie, Kylie, and Kathryn)
