Message from the Chair - Catherine Martin
It is Time for ASQ Los Angeles to go social. If you're wondering if social media is right for ASQ Los Angeles, the answer is yes ... social media is a great way to communicate and to attract new members. National ASQ is already connected to social media with Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter and You Tube.
Social Media has changed the way people connect, discover, and share information. Professional Societies use social networks to gain engagement, support and action. Social media allows us to open up a whole new approach to support engagement and increase word of Mouth.
Where do we start? -------Linkedin and Facebook Accounts:
Linkedin is the new Yellow Pages. Linkedin accounts are free and it is a social networking website for people in professional occupations. Founded in December 2002 and launched on May 5, 2003, it is mainly used for professional and business networking.
Facebook is an online social networking service. Facebook Pages allow us to create a profile for our organization, and allow people to "like" it by viewing the content, as if it was their "friend". The multimedia nature of Facebook means it is ideal for hosting the broadest range of content on our organization's work.
Social Media, Website & Email Marketing go great together so ASQ Los Angeles is keeping Constant Contact for distributing our Newsletter and our Website will continue to share news, photos and announcements.
To look for us on social media, we are using the organization name "ASQ Los Angeles".
ASQ Los Angeles March 2014 Highlights include the following:
Monthly section meetings - For re-certification credit, attendees can earn re-certification Units. Information is available on our website and on our social media.
Leadership opportunities - Volunteers run the section. You can earn re-certification units by being an officer, chairperson, or committee member and attending the Section Leadership Committee (SLC) meetings.
Certifications - Through ASQ Los Angeles there are several quality certifications available including Quality Auditor and Quality Engineer. ASQLA section 700 provides training and study groups for many of these ASQ Certifications.
Networking and Employment leads - At the section meeting there are opportunities to meet others in the quality field and from various industries. Linkedin and Facebook also offer networking opportunities.
Annual Quality Day - Our section participates in the annual Quality Day conference.
