ASQ Golden Spike Section Announces

March 12, 2009- The election results for next year's Section Officers were announced during our Leadership Training event last Thursday evening. The Section Operating Agreement (SOA) requires the election of officers consisting of a Section Chair, Section Treasurer, and Section Secretary. The election was uncontested with last years SLC remaining in place. Robert Allotta will remain as Section Secretary. Paul Harbath will continue his position as Section Treasurer, and Chris Hayes will continue as Section Chair. The section is on target to meet the deadline of May 1st for completing and submitting the officer list to Headquarters and our Regional Director. |
2009 / 2010 Committee Chair Appointments
The SOA requires the section to have a Section Leadership Committee consisting of both the elected officers and appointed Committee Chairs. The Committee Chair list must be completed and submitted to HQ and RD by June 30th. This year we have had quite a few more members interested in participating in these appointed positions. Although the various positions were discussed during the Leadership Training event, only some of the appointed positions make sense for our section at this time. The following appointed positions are being considered for the 2009 / 2010 fiscal year:
- Audit Chair - Reviews Treasurer's financial reports quarterly and yearly. Commitment - 1/2 hr quarterly, 1 hr annually

The committee will develop and implement a section welcome program and other programs aimed at the responsibilities of the Chair. Commitment - Variable based on number of committee members and programs developed. Most likely not more than 3 hrs per month between committee members.

- Certification Chair - Coordinates and manages section activites related to certification. Reports certification results monthly to newsletter editor. Commitment - varies dependent on examinees and certification courses being offered.
- Recertification Chair - Helps section members with the recertification process. Evaluates recertification applications and validates professional activities. Submits information to ASQ headquarters. Recert deadlines at the end of June and December which makes this time of year somewhat busier.

The committee solicits speakers, plans events, and writes program communications for inclusion in newsletter.

If you think you may be interested in one of these appointed positions or one of the committes that serves them, please contact me at 801-791-1654. I would be happy to discuss the positions and the commitments in more detail. Many of these positions can be shared in order to reduce the individual time commitment required. All appointed leaders should expect to attend a large majority of the monthly activities as well as quarterly leadership meetings required by the Section Operating Agreement. Committee Chairs will be announced at our June meeting. |
