I am pleased to report that we have had another successful year for
the 2001/2002 session. We signed the WorldPartner program with ASQ, currently
ASQ only has 8 WorldPartners in the World. Our Chairman: Mr. Aaron TONG
and our past Chairman: Dr. Albert TSANG represented the Society to attend
ASQ's Annual Quality Congress held in Denver in May 2002.
9 Executive Committee meetings were held in the session. Various activities,
including 17 seminars/symposia/workshops and 3 technical visits were organized
by the Society during the last session. These events were well received
by our members and other participants from local manufacturing and service
industries.
Benefits to members: Our members can purchase quality management publications
at a discount price of HKD20.00 including postage and packing from the
City University of Hong Kong.
The Society, up to the end of the 2001/2002 session, has some 319 members
of various grades, in which 32 are new members recruited in the session.
The Society so far has 20 Senior Members and six Fellows.
The Society has continued to cooperate with other quality professional
bodies to further promote a greater awareness of the need for quality in
Hong Kong and state-of-the-art concepts and techniques in quality management
and engineering aspects. Collaboration activities included jointly organized
seminars, workshops, and Government funded projects.
