On February 18, the ASQ Raleigh Leadership team held a “meet and greet” networking session at the NC Biotech Center to welcome and engage quality professionals in the Triangle area. The attendees included long-term ASQ members and some newcomers.

One exciting addition at this meeting was the brand new ASQ Raleigh banner (see the photo) showing who we are and what we do! Thanks to our Section Chair Maria Mahrukh for designing and bringing it to the meeting.

We had almost the entire Leadership team in person at this meeting, which was incredible, given how far many had to travel from their work or home. Each member of the Leadership team, including several new Member Leaders, introduced themselves and their volunteering roles in the ASQ Raleigh Section. We celebrated what the team had accomplished in the past year and shared our ideas and plans for 2026.

After every attendee gave their introduction, we naturally gathered into small groups and got to know each other. Many of the topics discussed were centered around improving the Quality culture at the workplace, engaging members, and increasing the impact of ASQ Raleigh in the local community. As a result, many new ideas for collaboration and action came out, and the room was full of energy and enthusiasm about what’s coming in 2026.

Many thanks to our Member Leaders and to the participants!

If you are interested in Quality and Continuous Improvement, please join us in future events to learn and share your passion. Contact any of the ASQ Raleigh team if you have any questions or suggestions.

We look forward to seeing you and hearing from you!
