The speaker's topic will be "Software Quality Assurance - What is it & Why should I care". Software is everywhere. Can you name an area where there is no software impact? This presentation will provide some insight on just what software quality assurance is as well as the processes, tools, and techniques for helping to ensure software quality in your organization. It may also answer the question as to why we should care about the quality of software incorporated into our daily lives. It will also provide some practical tips on how you can help improve the quality of the software used to help produce products in your organization. Successful software quality assurance does not happen by chance, but requires the right combination of process strategy, structure, and support from all levels of the organization.

Message from the Chair - Lane Parrott
ASQ Certifications Mean More Salary
According to the Quality Progress 2012 Salary Survey, "Any ASQ certification is associated with a higher salary, but salaries are even higher for those who hold more than one certification." That is fantastic. Get a second certification earn more money.
Depending on your job title, some certifications bring even higher benefits:
- Auditor with CSSBB obtain salary premium of $24,708
- Supplier Quality Engineer with CQE obtain salary premium of $14,434
- Supervisor with CQA obtain salary premium of $13,004
- Quality Engineer with CMQ/OE obtain salary premium of $11,661
- Manager with CMQ/OE obtain salary premium of $8,943
- Auditors with CQA obtain salary premium of $8,116
Someone recently asked me why the section was not offering a Certified Reliability Engineer course. The CRE is a very difficult certification and not very popular. As a section we try to support the most members possible. Here are the six most popular certifications:
- 22.9% Certified Quality Auditor (CQA)
- 20.4% Certified Quality Engineer (CQE)
- 12.6% Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence (CMQ/OE)
- 8% Certified Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB)
- 6.3% Certified Quality Technician (CQT)
- 6.1% Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (CSSGB)
BE ACKNOWLEDGED FOR YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS - If you have three (3) or more current ASQ Certifications and you attend our November Meeting, you will be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, an ASQLA coffee mug and a gift card.
MEET NEW PEOPLE - Join the section's Leadership Team. We are looking for enthusiastic and dependable members who can help us provide a great experience for your members. If you are interested, please send me an Email at [email protected].
