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!

Hunger in Central & Eastern North Carolina
Although the Food Bank is located in one of the United States’ best places to live, consistent research and our on-the-ground experience show hunger is worsening here in North Carolina and across the country. Across our 34-county service area, too many people are unable to consistently access enough nutritious food to live a healthy,active life. And between the rising cost of living, and cuts to state and federal support, more and more families well above the poverty line are forced to making impossible choices between food, housing, medications, and other essential resources.
Food insecurity has emerged as a defined reality for hundreds of thousands of Americans who — even when working two or more jobs — face serious challenges keeping food on the table. In the 34 counties the Food Bank serves, studies show 560,910 people live in food insecure households, including 173,710 kids and teens. Our network is moving mountains to ensure fresh, nutritious food reaches communities that need it most — all while taking collective action to prevent hunger from happening in the first place.
