4). Program chair by Steve M.-  Position will be shared.  John is leader-facilitator, Jim will provide speakers, Denise will handle awards, Steve will get speakers, Randy will handle AV, Kim will present awards. Get your speaker ideas to John.  Suggest we keep the same format for 2009-10 year: Sept. meeting at Engr’s club.  Combine Nov./Dec. meeting.  Awards night can be done in March or April.  Most likely we will have a May meeting at the Engr.’s club.

5). Website - Shailesh will do email blast of newsletter and train a replacement this summer.  John Vespa is considering taking the website responsibility with compensation.  Kim will ask Lynh Dye from BJC who has volunteered for website position; make sure she knows html.

6)  Education by Steve H. - No classes filled: Currently, there are four for the black belt, one for the quality manager, one for the quality technician; the information is in the newsletter set to go out soon, instructors are being contacted.   Location options: St. Charles or Meramec Community College for possible venues to reach people in other locations; and can look into virtual programs as well.   Pat Jett at Flo-Valley has started exploring how to implement virtual programs.  We will need aditional marketing to reach the training candidates.  Request a proposal on a video class by Chris Anderson.    We are looking into CQA-pharmaceutical certification and instructors.

Ann Julius, of Meritz, wanted information on Six Sigma Green Belt.  Steve M. will assist them, a team of six, in learning. 

7). Workshops - Tentative months to have them:  Sept. or Oct.; Nov; Feb., Mar., Apr.  Potential workshops: Minitab (Kunita), Advanced LSS (Kim); Change Management (Kim); ISO 9001 -2008 (Rob Torro); Engineering/Quality tools (Eric Dix), Process mapping (Chris), Resume building (Kim), Transitioning to healthcare (Kim): Location options: Weldon Springs (Randy), Clayton (Chris), Engr. Club (Kurt).

8). SMP report out by Randy - only made 58/80 certifications goal, achieved goals: 60 avg attendance,  4.0 avg for rating, renewal rate of 75%, conference attendance goal of 120, and our goal of increasing the reserve balance to $1000; didn’t make total membership goal of 1025.   Potential goals and deletions for 2009-10 SMP: keep # certifications, meeting attendance, member satisfaction score, membership number, and workshops, and add # volunteers for the world conference and increase number of senior members, and delete financial reserve and spring conference metrics.

9) Budget by Steve M. - No spring conference; we have income and expenses from workshops, may need funds for speakers; the cost of the engr’s club is $200+; attendance is down more than membership decline; may be due to many members not getting email blasts.  Possible options for communications: One more hard copy newsletter to clearly state the website as first place for information, a post card with the meeting information, schedule meetings in advance and give people at the meetings the plans, or send email blasts.  Tony will set up the rest of 2009 locations for the next communications.

9). Miscellaneous items - National wants the venue identified early, such as at the engr. club, for certifications. We want to identify location based on number taking the class to save costs and then send them the locations.

1)  Meeting called to order at 6:14 PM by Steve Mundwiller.  We held off a little due to rain in the area.

2)  April 09 Minutes Approved as Prepared - It was moved, seconded, and approved to accept the minutes as prepared.

3)  Treasurer’s Report by Resa - We have a checking balance of $74,172.55.  Most Spring Conference bills are paid, including the Crowne Plaza SC bill and World Conference expenses for John O’Reilly and Chris Anderson.   

4)  Investment Plan by Resa -   Resa moved we switch from US Bank to Bank of America.  They offer a business account with no monthly fees; our current US Bank account carries a monthly fee of $10.  This was seconded and approved. 

Resa also moved we transfer $65,000 from checking to a “no risk” CD at Bank of America.  It carries a slightly lower interest rate, but can be moved into a move permanent CD at any time.  There was a discussion about how much to leave in checking.  It was moved to leave $10,000 in checking and put the rest in the “no risk” CD.  This was seconded and carried.

5) SMP Metrics by Randy - SMP metrics are due for submittal to National ASQ in August.  We need 6 of 8 metrics to achieve the “Gold Quality” level as we did for 2007/2008.  Discussed current status, some numbers are incomplete.  It was decided to meet next week to see where we’re at and where we need to be on some of these metrics.  SMP results will be finalized at the July LC meeting.   

6)  Certification Exams by Eric - 46 people took an exam on June 6, out of 56 registered.  Exam went well.  There was a brief discussion of alternate exam sites. 

7)  Education by Kim and Denise - 10 People attended May mini-workshop.  There were good reviews and comments that we had better marketing than previous workshops.  Steve mentioned that the transition to ISO 2008 is a class we need. 

8)  General Comments by Steve Mundwiller - LC meeting expenses are down from $350 last year to 275 per meeting this year.   We should target to have 6 mini-workshops next year.  In the past, members of the LC attended section meetings at no charge.  Steve would like to go back to this, and is talking to Rob about it.  The electronic newsletters still don’t reach a lot of people.  We may have to go back to 2 or 3 hardcopy newsletters.  Steve distributed data from other sections in region 13.  Our section membership is holding up pretty well compared to others. 

9)  LC members for next year -

Education - Steve Hyland will do the refresher for certification half and Denise will run the mini-workshop half.

10)  Distribution of RU letters for 2008/2009 and officer’s pins for 2007/2008 by Steve Mundwiller.

11)  Around the Table

Will - New pharmaceutical auditing certification has a very broad Body of Knowledge.  QCI does not plan on developing a primer but there may be a big interest in St. Louis.  We should look at a possible training class.  I’m trying to recertify 17 people in our section whose certs expired 12/31/08.  They need to recertify by June 30.  46 people have certifications due 6/30.

At Dave and Buster’s, Maryland Heights, MO

Prepared 5-21-09 by John O’Reilly

Participants:      Steve Mundwiller, Steve Hyland, Will Meyer, Randy Thompson, Denise Arthur, Resa Manson, Kunita Gear, Jim Ebone, Chris Anderson, Shailesh Panth, Sally Young, Kim Rochetti, and John O’Reilly

1)  Meeting called to order at 6:02 PM by Steve Mundwiller.

2)  April 09 Minutes Approved as Prepared - John had received input from Kunita that there were a lot of ideas on how to get new volunteers that were not captured in the minutes.  Steve M. added it to the meeting agenda and it was moved, seconded, and approved to accept the minutes as prepared.

3)  Treasurer’s Report by Resa - We have a checking balance of over $93,000.  Most Spring Conference bills are outstanding, including the Crowne Plaza reconciliation.  Steve Mundwiller and Resa will go by Bank of America this month to learn about their “no risk CD”.  She will have budget report and CD recommendations for the next LC meeting (June 9^th).   

4)  General Comments by Steve Mundwiller -  Ed Lanser and his son Dale may be attending the May Section meeting next week.  We will plan on presenting his section award at that time.  [He came and he was presented the Dr. Robert Deufel Extra Measure Award.]

ASQ World Conference - Will Meyer is attending for Boeing.  He is the incoming corporation-wide Enterprise representative for Boeing to the ASQ.  Rob Herhold is attending as Region 13 Director.  Chris Anderson is attending as Assistant Regional Director and our newly elected Site Volunteer Chairman for the 2010 WC in St. Louis.  John O’Reilly is attending as the St. Louis Section representative.

Spring Conference update by Steve Mundwiller - One repaired speaker gift has been presented to George Friesen.  One chipped award was replaced and is yet to be presented to the BJC’s Women’s and Infant Team.  Steve Hyland will set up a meeting with the Crowne Plaza people over the next two weeks to reconcile and agree on their final bill.  We reviewed feedback from the Spring Conference surveys. 

5)  SMP by Randy - Randy reported that we ended up with 121 attendees, meeting that SMP goal. 

Will asked if we had a list of every member’s certifications and when they were due.  Steve said no, but it’s available from the member services area and he will work to help him get access to it.

We need to average 70 per meeting the next two meetings to meet our SMP goal of 60 attendees per meeting.  Unpaid members are falling off our roles.  We will make 4 of 8 SMP goals, with a chance to make 1 or 2 more.  Randy may propose a different blend of metrics for next year.

6)  Education by Kim - There are 4 people signed up for May mini-workshop on May 16, 2009.  Certification refresher classes are coming along well.  Steve Hyland is teaching the CQA class with 5 students and Bill Bishoff is teaching the CQE class.  Kim requested our input for Mini-workshop “hot topics”.  The LC group in attendance suggested:  Auditing, SPC, Statistics, Six Sigma, and Lean.  Also suggested were a Job Fair, the career workshops were well received at the SC, and Minitab gives out diskettes for 30 day trials.  Kim will write an article for the next newsletter to get section member input.   Please keep forwarding your ideas to Kim and Denise.  

7)  Membership by Kunita - We discussed how to increase attendance /membership ideas.  There is a high turnover on new members without certifications.  We need to promote certification to retain members.  Promote senior membership, networking benefits, hardship status offered by National.  Other ideas were section incentives for new members and T-Shirts for certain certifications.  Don’t forget that retirees can “retire their certifications and reservists get automatic recertification.

8)  May Section Meeting, May 12, 2009

Will Meyer will talk about “Changes to Recertification System and the Value of Certification”.  Rod Toro will talk about “Top Ten Mistakes When Developing your QMS”.  Our menu will be a steak and beer at the Engineer’s Club like we did last September.  All LC members need to be ready to pitch in like that meeting.

9)  June Section meeting - APICS will be running the June meeting at the Westport Sheraton Chalet.  It will be our regular price and registration system, with a check issued by Resa to APICS.  Speaker will be policeman Kevin Cavanaugh speaking about “Identity Theft Prevention”.

Steve Mundwiller reminded us that we still need a program chair.

10) Newsletter by Steve Mundwiller - Patty needs articles for newsletter in May.  Chris will write an article about volunteers needed for the 2010 WC in St. Louis.  He has 7 people for the Site Committee and we’ll need 80 to 100 volunteers during the conference.  You get to attend the conference free for 8 hours of volunteer time.  Ideas will be gathered from the Houston and Minnesota sections during the WC. 

11)  Exams by Steve - No information on alternate sites for exams.  Other ideas are Florissant Valley Community College, UMSL, and St. Louis County Library.  Based on the number of people registered, we can decide on exam location.  Steve Hyland will contact Dr. Ashok Agrawal at Flo Valley.

12)  Around the Table -

Jim - Pass

Randy - Randy volunteered to assist our program chair.

Sally - She will not be on the LC next year.  She is involved with a big project at her church and will be working on the WC Site Committee.  Sally and Will are meeting with Laurel Nelson Rowe of National ASQ about Boeing’s Enterprise membership and relationship.

Will - He asked if anyone has ever gotten an email that their certifications are due for renewal.  He will send out notices if he can get a list.  Kunita and Steve M. will help him get this list.  Maybe we could play slides before the meeting and during dinner (announcements like at the movie theatres).  Will is working with Denise to be one of his recertification deputies.  Steve will review Will’s recertification package and sign off on it.  Is there any interest in ASQ certification exams at our student section, SIU- Carbondale?  We’ve done this in the past.

Steve Hyland - Pass

Chris - Pass

Shailesh - Pass

Resa - Pass

John - Pass

Kunita - Pass

Minutes of 4-21-09 ASQ Leadership Committee Meeting

At Favazza’s, 5201 Southwest Ave, St. Louis, MO

Prepared 5-03-09 by John O’Reilly

Participants:      Steve Mundwiller, Steve Hyland, Tony Indihar, Randy Thompson, Denise Arthur, Resa Manson, Kunita Gear, Jim Ebone, and John O’Reilly

1)  Meeting called to order at 6:02 PM by Steve Mundwiller.

2)  March 09 Minutes Approved as Revised - John had corrected some earlier information from Sally Young, the “Dr. Bob” section.  A motion was made and seconded to approve the revised version of the minutes.  The motion was approved.

3)  Treasurer’s Report by Resa - We have a checking balance of $82,794.88.  The Treasurer’s report was accepted as presented.  Next month Resa will present a report with expenses and receipts compared to our yearly budget.   

4)  Additional Financial Information by Resa - Resa recommends we switch over to Bank of America.  She has looked into their services and expenses and there are significant savings involved.  Our current account is at US Bank and besides monthly expenses, their service is poor and it is inconvenient to use them.  She wants to make sure our CDs are FDIC insured, considering the current economic market.  She also recommends a laddered approach with CDs due at different times.  Kunita had recommended we consider COSTCO but they don’t have as many locations as Bank of America.  Sam’s Club is another possibility.  Kunita will send Resa the link to COSTCO Banking.  June 9 is the date for the June LC meeting.  Steve Mundwiller asked Resa to present an actionable motion for CD purchases at that meeting.  No audit report from Kathy yet.

5)  General Feedback by Steve Mundwiller - A) Beth Cudney needs 2 volunteers for the IIE Conference coming to St. Louis this fall. [John O'Reilly has volunteered and been accepted to serve.]  These volunteers are expected to find 3 speakers and moderate a conference session.  In return, they receive a discounted price to attend the conference.  They also need to participate in a monthly conference call.  Talk to Steve Mundwiller or Beth if you’re interested.  Our ASQ section can be a sponsor at no cost by providing two volunteers with duties as described above.  RU points are available. 

B)  Steve recommends we attempt no conferences in FY 2009-2010; concentrate on mini-workshops instead and our section’s support of the WC coming to St. Louis next spring.

C)  Steve may not be able to attend WC in Minneapolis in May due to work concerns.

6) Spring Conference Update - We had good speakers, two good keynotes (the Friday Lunch presentation was not up to expected).  Friday had 63 paid signups for the conference.  A couple of workshops and a couple of breakouts were cancelled.  Randy said survey completion was few and far between.  Some of the comments were: 

a) People wanted descriptions for the breakout sessions, not just the title and presenter, b) Snacks were poorly located on Friday, far from the presentations, c) we should have had individual survey forms for each breakout, but it was positive overall, just a few negatives.  Steve Hyland has a few in his car to give to Randy.  Good job pulling off the conference in difficult economic times.  Kunita’s comments from people coming up to the registration desk:  a)  Meting RUs, speaker bios not available, no time to get information from speakers, Projector problems (Steve and Randy were not aware of any), no handouts, no CDs with presentations as we’ve had in the past, no certification ribbons, no receipts for book purchases, no startup meeting for volunteers.  Steve and Steve discussed the problem with lack of volunteers.  Chris Anderson relied heavily on the Bizmanualz staff the last couple of years.  Maybe think about an every other year conference format.

7) Preliminary Spring Conference Results - At this point, it looks like we lost about $6,000.  If we had pulled the plug and cancelled in March, we would have had a loss of $10 to 12K.

Ed Lanser Update by Steve Mundwiller - Ed Lanser is now back in St. Louis.  He had open heart surgery March 1^st in Florida.  He came back to St. Louis on April 14 and is currently at St. Luke’s Rehab Center in West County.  Recert material may have been mailed to him.  We need Will Meyer to follow up on this.  Get newsletter items to Patty.

9) Eric Report by Steve Mundwiller - Eric has nothing to report yet on alternative exam sites.  St. Louis County Library may offer rooms for free.  Someone suggested that we don’t hold March exams in 2011, push them to the Spring Conference in April.  We had a 75% pass rate at the Spring Conference exams this year.  Eric passed on his thanks to Steve, Randy, and John for their help at exam check-in.

10) Education by Denise - The mini workshop Transition to HealthCare will be held May 17^th.  Refresher classes for CQE and CQA are going on at this time.  Can we get the mini-workshop announcement in the next email blast?  Yes we can.

11) May Section Meeting by Steve - We need one or two speakers.  Its beer and steaks at the Engineer’s Club.  We need a repeat performance of LC workers bringing their ball caps and aprons. 

June is a joint meeting with APICS.  It was our turn to host, but we turned it over to APICAS for their sponsorship.  It will be June 16 at the Westport Sheraton Chalet.

12) LC for 2009-2010 - We really need a Program Chairman.  Steve did it this last year, but cannot do it again this next year.  We also have an opening for Chair-Elect.  Shailesh will not be continuing in his role, Patty will be picking this up.  Kathy is audit chair, but may not be able to do it.  Jim is willing to do this, but doesn’t know it ASQ National would allow it.

13) SMP by Randy - We need to average 70 per meeting at the next two meetings to make this SMP metric.  We had a total of 120 at Spring Conference, so we made this metric.  Not sure if we’ll make 6 of the 8 metrics.

14) Membership by Kunita - We got 42 new members in February and March.  They were mailed invitations to be our guests at the May or June meeting.  Steve thinks ASQ will carry unemployed members on scholarship for a year if they request it, but will confirm through ASQ.

15) Around the Table - Jim - My Company did not let email from Bizmanualz, it thought it was spam.

Denise - Pass

Resa - Pass

Steve Hyland - Pass

Kunita - Pass

John - Let’s encourage attendance for the May meeting.

Steve Mundwiller - Let’s adjourn, It’s 8:21.

Minutes of 3-10-09 ASQ Leadership Committee Meeting

At Kobe Japanese Grill, 12^th Floor of the Westport Gold Tower, Maryland Heights, MO

Prepared 3-29-09 by John O’Reilly

Participants:      Steve Mundwiller, Steve Hyland, Kim Rochetti, Tony Indihar, Randy Thompson, Denise Arthur, Eric Schellenberg, Resa Manson, Kunita Gear, and John O’Reilly

1)  Meeting called to order at 6:13 PM by Steve Mundwiller. 

2)  February 09 Minutes Approved as Revised - John had corrected some earlier information from Sally Young, the “Around the Table” section.  A motion was made and seconded to approve the revised version of the minutes.  The motion was approved.

3)  Additional Proposed Elected Officers by John - There have been no other candidates nominated for section offices.  Our candidates are:

Chair - Steve Mundwiller;  Vice Chair - John O’Reilly;  Secretary - Kim Rochetti;  Treasurer - Resa Manson.  We still have an opening for Chair-Elect.

4)  Treasurer’s Report by Resa - We have a checking balance of $84,929.  This reflects the investment account move-over to checking of $82, 174.  The Treasurer’s report was accepted as presented.

5)  Additional Financial Information by Resa - We have decided to stop paying the yearly fee associated with the credit card machine.  Since we have gone to 123SignUp for meeting registration, we were only using the credit card machine for book sales at the Spring Conference.  Cash or check at the bookstore, an ATM is at the Crowne Plaza.  We may list the credit card machine on Craigslist or EBay, no decision at this time.  Resa found that US Bank does not offer very good CD rates, and charges us $10/month for a business checking account.  She’s looking at other banks, in addition to Bank of America, which has a good program called Business Advantage.  Kunita will check with Costco, they may offer a similar program.  No audit report back from Kathy yet.

6)  General Feedback by Steve Mundwiller - A) Beth Cudney needs 2 volunteers for the IIE Conference coming to St. Louis this fall. [John O'Reilly has volunteered and been accepted to serve.]  These volunteers are expected to find 3 speakers and moderate a conference session.  In return, they receive a discounted price to attend the conference.  They also need to participate in a monthly conference call.  Talk to Steve Mundwiller or Beth if you’re interested.  Our ASQ section can be a sponsor at no cost by providing two volunteers with duties as described above.  RU points are available. 

B)  The SIU - Carbondale Student Chapter contacted Steve with an appeal for speakers at their Spring Conference on Thursday, April 16^th.  In past years, members the St. Louis Section have supplied most, if not all of the speakers for their conference.  Kim may be interested in speaking, she is working with them.  Brenda Bishop may also be interested. They are looking for quality or business topics. 

C)  Steve feels we should attempt no other conferences in 2009/2010.  Between the IIE conference this fall, and the ASQ WC in spring of 2010, we’ll be busy.  [Chris Anderson has been nominated and elected to serve as our Volunteer Coordinator for the 2010 WC.]  Let’s concentrate on mini-workshops.

D) Steve discussed our plan for travel to this year’s WC in May.  We’re renting an SUV and have room for passengers.  There’s room for officers and others who are interested in attending.  Talk to Steve if you’re interested.  Right now, Steve and JO’R are attending; Resa and Steve Hyland have conflicts and are not attending.  We need to plan on driving up Friday and returning Wednesday or Thursday.  If no one else is interested in riding with us, we’ll probably fly.

7)  Spring Conference Update by Steve Hyland, John, and Resa - Right now we’ve got the hotel (Crowne Plaza), all speakers on board, 3 paying vendors, one sponsor (ABB), and Bizmanualz is trading a vendor fee for a workshop.  We got the brochures mailed out.  Our Chief Proctor is Eric and he’s got one other proctor lined up.  31 people signed up to take an exam [97 as of 3/29!]  We have $700 in books ordered and here.  We’ve got everything but people, only 4 signed up.  Steve Mundwiller recommends we cancel the Spring Conference.  Matter was discussed by LC, with Tony and Kunita coming out in favor of holding the conference and offering cut rate prices if need be to bring in more attendance.  At this point, it could be smaller than a monthly meeting.  We need 60 paying people to break even.  We will try to email non-members who attended last year.

  Education by Kim and Denise - CQE refresher class is a go, to be taught by Bill Bishoff.  CQA not a go, but a week or so left to sign up.  Deadline is March 20^th.  Classes would start April 7^th.  What would generate more interest? 

Skip to

14) Membership by Kunita - We’ve done 3 certification mailings for the March meeting.  50 invitations sent.  76 New member letters mailed out inviting them to a meeting, 4 people have attended a meeting.  We discussed general membership incentives including Savis Center night, Cardinals night, bring a friend, and a meeting at the art museum or science center. 

15)  Doctor Bob by Steve - Sally and Steve will hold this at the March meeting next week.  Steve was unable to locate any of Dr. Bob’s family.  Sally contacted Florissant Valley Community College, but they were also shocked to hear of his passing. 

11)  Scholarships by Tony - An impartial selection was held.  The two scholarship winners for 2009 are Stephanie Mundwiller and Brenda Bishop.  Tony is preparing the awards and recognition brochure for next week’s meeting at Dave and Busters.

12)  Awards - The awards were discussed and distributed and can now be put into the minutes:  Ed Lanser received the Dr. Robert Deufel Extra Measure Award,

Rob Herhold received the Vezeau Award, Steve Mundwiller received the Kauffman Award, and Shailesh Panth received the Volunteer Excellence Award.  Ed Lanser is in hospital (open heart surgery) and will receive his later, but the other 3 were surprised and delighted!

17)  Around the Table -

Steve Hyland - Pass

John - Everybody recruit people for the Spring Conference.

Eric - 5 people took an exam last Saturday at the Engineer’s Club.  Even Denise Arthur is in the alt section.  We need to look at this and try to get our area members to select section 1304, so we get a dues rebate from them.

5)  Additional Financial Information by Will Meyer - It has been very difficult to get the investment account switched over from Will to Resa and Steve Mundwiller.  Will moved that the LC authorize Will to withdraw all the money from our investment account as a check made out to St. Louis Section of ASQ and then get this check to Resa for deposit into the section checking account.  Resa will investigate CD rates at US Bank and report back to the LC in March.  The motion was seconded and approved.  [This has taken place, with the investment account check passing from Will to Steve Mundwiller to Resa and was deposited into the Section checking account on 2/26/09.]   Kathy Knecht, our Audit Chair, audited the financial records with Resa for the semi annual financial audit.  Resa has not received the audit report from Kathy, but it went well.  There were only three issues, all at the beginning of the fiscal year and before the transition to Resa.  .

6)  General Feedback by Steve Mundwiller - A) Beth Cudney needs 2 volunteers for the IIE Conference coming to St. Louis this fall.  These volunteers are expected to find 3 speakers and moderate a conference session.  In return, they receive a discounted price to attend the conference.  They also need to participate in a monthly conference call.  Talk to Steve Mundwiller or Beth if you’re interested.  Our ASQ section can be a sponsor at no cost by providing two volunteers with duties as described above.  RU points are available. 

B)  Steve has heard from Bette Stanley.  Her husband died last May, and since then she broke her arm and has gone through a very difficult time.  She expressed an interest in rejoining the LC at some point in the future. 

C)  The SIU - Carbondale Student Chapter contacted Steve with an appeal for speakers at their Spring Conference on Thursday, April 16^th.  In past years, members the St. Louis Section have supplied most, if not all of the speakers for their conference.  They are looking for quality or business topics.  Will Meyer was a speaker two years ago and talked about the quality certification process and how even the easier certifications can be a valuable addition to a student’s resume.  He would be glad to have someone else present this if they were interested.  Will is going to email a copy of the presentation to Shailesh to be made available for members of our LC.  We had scheduled a certification refresher class at SIUC, but it fell through due to finances. 

D) We need to think about some type of conference in FY 2009-2010.  The World Conference ASQ will be here in May, but we should think about something this fall. 

E) Steve discussed our plan for travel to this year’s WC in May.  We’re renting an SUV and have room for passengers.  There’s room for officers and others who are interested in attending.  Talk to Steve if you’re interested.  Right now, Steve and JO’R are attending; Resa and Steve Hyland have conflicts and are not attending.  We need to plan on driving up Friday and returning Wednesday or Thursday.

7) Education by Kim and Denise - We have not lined up instructors for this next round of Refresher classes, scheduled to start in March.  Not enough interest yet, but if enough people sign up, we can get instructors quickly.   Deadline is March 20^th.  Classes would start April 7^th.  What would generate more interest?  Brenda Bishop might be persuaded to teach a class or two in Metro East.  Some companies won’t pay for a class unless it’s part of a college.  What are costs of doing a WebEx?  Sally will get information from Huntsville on their WebEx.

Website Update by Shailesh - Updating and adding information to the section website is much easier.  Can Spring Conference info be added easily?  Yes, with approval from the site administrator.  Sally saw a comment, it’s like a blog.  Registration for next week is not right.  Two days ago it was OK.  Randy will email Shailesh a screen shot if there’s a problem tomorrow.  Sent out an email blast, it’s very slow.  Shailesh will email Steve Mundwiller tomorrow about how it’s going.  He is trying to make it easier for Patty to manage.  123 SignUp is being revised and improved for Spring Conference registration.

9) Scholarship Award (Herbert V. McMahon Award) by Tony - 5 Scholarship awards so far.  One person nominated themselves, they are a student.  Another student applied but left off name and ASQ # of sponsoring member.  Tony received OK from the LC to contact this person and get the missing information. 

10) Upcoming Program by Steve Mundwiller - February at Favazza’s with Carla Armbruster and Bob Freese.

• March at Dave and Busters - Networking, Awards, Elections, and Recognition of certification earners in 2008.
• April at the Crowne Plaza.  Our Spring Conference Banquet with vendors, beer, book sales, and Mike Brooks.  Cost of banquet is included for conference and/or full day workshop attendees.  Exam takers or half day workshop people pay regular price for the banquet.
• May at the Engineer’s Club -We’ll have 2 speakers.  In May, the LC meeting will be on 1^st Tuesday, section meeting on 2^nd Tuesday.  The world conference falls on the 3^rd Tuesday.
• June at Westport Sheraton Chalet - It’s our joint meeting with APICS; our turn to supply the speaker.

11)  SMP Results by Randy - We’ve only earned 24 certifications YTD.  There are 3 more exams, but we’re way behind last year.  Attendance is a little low, but we’ve got some big meetings coming up.  Good feedback from the January meeting.

12)  Membership by Steve Mundwiller for Kunita - A) March meeting will include people who earned certs in 2008 as our guests.  The banquet room at Dave and Buster’s can hold 75 people.  B)  Four people attended with a new members welcome letter in January.  Other ideas kicked around were a new member night at Savis Center before a Blues game.  Maybe baseball, horseracing, minor league baseball.  LC meeting at a River City Rascal’s game and “Bring a friend to the May meeting. 

13)  Dr. Bob Deufel - Steve informed the LC that Bob Deufel passed away August 10^th of 2008.  He was on the LC for 30 years and was a friend to all and a mentor to many of the LC members.  A motion was made, seconded, and approved to rename the Extra Measure Award.  It will now be known as the Dr. Robert Deufel Extra Measure Award.  We will have a memorial ceremony as part of the March meeting.  Sally will contact National for any information they have and bring a candle; Steve will dig up more biographical data and get a picture.  We need a new Historian at some point.  Dr. Bob’s family will be invited as our guests. 

14)  Section Awards by Denise - Awards were discussed and a consensus was reached.  The results will be announced at our March meeting.

15)  Additional nominations for section offices by John - No other nominations were received.  Our slate remains Steve Mundwiller for Section Chair, John O’Reilly for Vice-Chair, Resa Manson for Treasurer, and Kim Rochetti for Secretary.

16)  New re-certification activity by Will - Will recently met with Ed Lanser, started with his model.  He talked to Lisa Valle at ASQ National.  There are no record retention requirements.  Linda suggested keeping the certification cover sheet for six to 12 months.  In our section, 40 to 50% have certifications.  Most are synchronized, so they only recertify every 3 years.  This works out to about 125 people/year to recertify.  Will spoke at the last Technical Interchange meeting at Boeing (hosted by our Sally Young).  He will meet with Boeing people to recertify them at lunch time.  He did one today; it took 15 minutes.  Linda said he could have backup subcommittee members and they plan on recertifying people before section meetings and during breaks at the Spring Conference. 

17)  Spring Conference Update by Steve Hyland, Resa, and John - The Spring Conference brochure is in final revision stage and was given out as a draft to the LC [It was mailed out to our members on 2/27/09].  Registration is on-line through 123SignUp, or by mail or fax to the Engineer’s Club.  We will not take P.O.s, only credit cards, checks, or cash.  We need people to get out there and recruit attendees.  It’s the best value in town for your money.

18)  Around the Table -

• John - Pass
• Kim - VP of Marketing information “we got game”.  We need money to help.
• Denise - Pass
• Sally - She got an email from James Duncan a Dr. in Quality in the Radiology Dept at BJC.  More info about healthcare?

• Shailesh - Pass
• Tony - Pass
• Resa - Pass
• Steve Hyland - Pass
• Will - Pass
• Steve Mundwiller - Let’s adjourn at 8:36.  Thanks for your patience and persistence.

Section 1304
Minutes of 1-13-09 ASQ Leadership Committee Meeting

At The Gas House Grill, 12643 Olive Blvd.  (1 mile west of I-270 on north side)
Prepared 1-25-09 by John O’Reilly

Participants:    Steve Hyland, Shailesh Panth, Kim Rochetti, Tony Indihar, Randy Thompson, Denise Arthur, Kunita Gear, Rob Herhold, Sally Young, Jim Ebone, Eric Schellenberg, Steve Mundwiller, and John O’Reilly

1)  Meeting called to order at 6:06 PM by Steve Mundwiller.

1A) Opening remarks by Rob Herhold - Steve M welcomed Rob Herhold, our Regional Director and former section chair.  Rob thanked us for welcoming him and thanked the LC for our volunteerism.  Our St. Louis Section is stable, doing well.  Other sections in the region have some issues.  There are currently 14 active sections in Region 13, which covers MO, KS, CO, IA, and part of IL and AR.  His job is to help them meet the minimum requirements and set policy.  Steve introduced the new LC members to Rob.

2)  Dec 08 Minutes approved as Amended -  In section 13a last month, Eric will provide the list of 2008 certifications to Kunita.  We are trying to get members of the Alt Section who live in or near St. Louis to join our section, 1304.  Then they would get our section emails and we would get a rebate check for dues paid by them.  Add Kunita to “Around the Table” at end of minutes.

3)  Treasurer’s Report by John (for Resa) - We have a checking balance of $7160.22.  The investment account balance is $82, 174.11.  Petty Cash is $150, for a grand total of $89,484.33.  Resa will be meeting with Kathy Knecht for the semi annual financial audit.  The Treasurer’s report was accepted as presented.

4)  Additional Financial Information by Steve Mundwiller - A) We did not receive a rebate check transfer from National ASQ in December.  They will “double up” on the Dec/Jan payment in January.  B)  Steve and Resa now each have a debit card for our ASQ account.  C)  Buying CDs from the investment account as approved last year is “in the works”.  It is proving to be more complicated than first thought.  D)  The new check request form has been completed and issued to people who need it.  E)  We’ve decided to drop the rental on the credit card machine.  We really only use it for book sales at the Spring Conference and we’ll just promote and accept only cash or checks for books.  Sally pointed out that the Crowne Plaza has an ATM machine, so this should eliminate the problem of people who don’t bring a check for books at the conference.

5)  General Feedback by Steve Mundwiller - A) IIE Conference coming to St. Louis this fall.  We’re looking at a ASQ section fall conference in 2010, not in the spring since the ASQ World Conference will be here in May 2010.  B)  Steve read an article that showed the value of ASQ membership to be $400K over a career.  This included networking, conferences, certifications and credibility.  C)  He has been striving to reduce the cost of LC meeting and this year it’s averaging about $272 per LC meeting.

6)  Education Update by Kim and Denise - Only 1 person signed up and unfortunately they showed up at the Engineer’s Club for the ISO mini-workshop.  Kim cancelled it, but did not have contact info for this one person who showed up, so he drove in from St. Peters.  Workshop is moved to Saturday, Feb. 21^st, again at the Engineer’s Club.  Not enough interest to hold winter refresher classes for ASQ exams.  Only two sign ups for the CQE class and one for the CCT.  She had instructors for all classes lined up.  Not enough interest for the spring classes, but there is still time to sign up.  Sally told the group that Boeing’s Huntsville, AL facility sponsors WebEx refresher classes, so they can be taken by anyone, anywhere.  The Kansas City section has developed a Six Sigma Green Belt for Healthcare certification.  Rob is getting licensed to teach it.

7)  Website and Communication Update by Shailesh - Website updates not going as well or quickly as hoped.  He hopes to finish by the end of January.  Need to get Kim access to registration data.  We need an external email server (still in progress).  Spring Conference registration can work with 123 Sign-Up.  He will work with them to improve this process.

8)  SMP Updates by Randy and Eric - Latest update was distributed.  Section meeting attendance is way off, as are certifications.  Average attendance is 50 for the year, with a goal of 60.  37 people took an exam in December.  We had 7 people pass the exam out of 13 in October.  If we assume the same pass rate in Dec. (18), we have a total of 25 certificates earned so far.  There are 4 more exam opportunities coming, but we’re 55 new certificates earned short of our goal.

9)  Newsletter needs (Shailesh for Patty) - 80 to 90% ready.  It will be out in a week or 2.

10)  Scholarships (Herbert V. McMahon Award by Tony - 3 scholarship applications received.  Steve Mundwiller signed off on official rules.

11)  Program review by Steve Mundwiller - Next weeks meeting will be at Villa Farotto in the Chesterfield Valley.  Mark Andy was recently acquired by another firm, so the tour just won’t work at this time.  We have Chris Anderson talking about “Setting Goals with Lean Thinking, and Donna Forgy talking about “Five Drivers to Success”.  Randy can bring a projection screen if we need one.

• February will be at Favazza’s on the Hill.  Speaking will be Bob Freeze and Karla Armbruster.
• March will be Awards and Elections at Dave & Busters.
• April is our ASQ Spring Conference Banquet at the Crowne Plaza on April 2^nd.
• May is Steak and Beer at the Engineer’s Club with an HR topic.
• June will be the joint meeting with APICS at Westport Chalet Hilton.

Steve again reviewed the budgeted plan for all four officers to attend the 2009 World Conference in Minneapolis, MN.  We plan to rent a van and drive up.  The conference is May 18th thru 20^th.  It looks like we could drive up Saturday, May 16 and drive back on the 20^th.  We would have room for a couple of other people if they want to ride up with us.

12)  Feedback on 2008 certification exams by Eric - We appear to be way behind on our certificates earned goal.  Somehow we ended up with 97 new certificates last year.  Eric will confirm the accuracy of this data.

13)  Membership Activity by Kunita - a) Asked about total membership, is it just paid or is unpaid included? (It is the total of both.  ASQ doesn’t drop your membership until you haven’t paid for a year.)

b)  42 new members invited to Jan, Feb, or March meeting for free. (We had 4 new member guests at the January meeting.)

c)  Those who earned certificates in 2008 will be invited to the March meeting.

d)  Looking at ways to get Alt. section members to join our section and corporate members to join our section.

e)  From Steve - ASQ will continue your membership for a year if you are unemployed, but you have to ask for this waiver.  All but one person in Anhueser Busch quality group got laid off.  We have 38 members at AB.

14)  Section Audit will occur on a weekend in January.  Kathy and Resa have been in contact to set up the time/date.

15)  Awards for March meeting - Kaufman Award for outstanding service by eligible people.  Ed Lanser, has he gotten it before?  No one has heard anything from Doctor Bob in 4 months.  Vezzeau Award - For teaching, writing, and technical knowledge.  Brenda Bishop and Beth Cudney were discussed.

16)  Elections and LC by Steve Mundwiller - Elections will be held at the March meeting.  The LC presents a slate of candidates.  Someone else can be nominated, but they must be a member and their nomination must be confirmed by 10 other section members who sign and provide their member numbers to our secretary, John O’Reilly.  This is in the ASQ National bylaws for sections.  Our LC slate is:

• Chair - Steve Mundwiller
• Treasurer - Resa Manson
• Vice Chair - John O’Reilly (this is a new position, not to be confused with chair-elect)
• Secretary - Kim Rochetti
• Chair Elect - Open at this time.

Open positions at this time on the LC are Program Chair, Education Chair, and Chair Elect.  We could elect another chair elect in March or fill it later.

• Jim - Has this been mentioned in the Newsletter?
• Sally - We should include an article on what each officer does.

17)  Spring Conference Update by Steve Hyland - We’re still looking for a few breakouts, but we need them quickly.  A couple of workshops could fit in as well.  We have 4 confirmed vendors and one sponsor.  We could use a few more of these.  Need a head proctor for the April 2^nd exams (a Thursday).  [Note:  Eric checked his schedule and will be head proctor.]  Resa will work registration, Kim and Kunita to assist.  Randy was asked to be the audio-visual person.  Steve asked Sally to talk to Bruce DeRuntz from SIU.  She also provided him with Bruce’s contact information.  John O’Reilly heading up book sales again.

4)  Update on ASQ National Classes by Steve Mundwiller - Steve reported two months ago that the ASQ had scheduled several classes in St. Louis for the month of April 2009.  He believed that our spring conference does not need this kind of direct competition for people’s time and training budget.  ASQ National agreed and moved all the classes to Atlanta, GA.  They will reschedule this training in St. Louis for August 2009.  In addition, they are making a change in their thinking to communicate with the local section chairman prior to scheduling training in their area.

5)  IIE Conference 2009, by Steve Mundwiller - Beth Cudney is the chairman of the IIE and St. Louis is on the top of their list for their fall conference.  We will help and participate in the conference.

7)  Education Update by Kim - Next Mini-Workshop on January 10^th, 2009 at the Engineer’s Club.  Charlie Ochs is donating his time and will tell us what we need to know for the transition to ISO 9001:2008.  The cost is $99 and the time is 8:00 AM to noon.  Kim and Denise may teach the “Transition from Manufacturing to Healthcare” as a workshop at the Spring Conference.  We may catch a whole different crowd during the week vs. a Saturday morning.  Kim will check on the spring refresher classes to determine which have enough interest to go ahead.

8)  Website Update by Shailesh - Shailesh is making changes to the ASQ section website to make it easier for the LC to add their own information.  Hope is to have this done by the end of 2008.

9)  SMP Update by Randy - Attendance is low for the year, averaging 50 per meeting YTD.  All the other items are looking pretty good.  Spring Conference attendance is a big one.  We need attendees!

10)  Newsletter Needs Update by Steve M in Patty’s absence - Everyone needs to get their articles to Patty this week.  She will pull it together for publication next week.

13a)  Membership Activity by Steve Mundwiller and Kunita - We will invite people who passed an exam in 2008 to attend and be recognized at our March 2009 section meeting.  New members will be invited to attend as our guest at any meeting within the next six months.  Working with Steve to get the access she needs to get information.

14)  Spring Conference update by Steve Hyland - We have 2 keynote speakers and leads on a third.  We will limit ourselves to 5 or 6 workshops so that we only use the 4 main rooms and use them all day.  We need 16 breakout speakers and have 9 at this time.  If you know someone who may want to be a speaker, get with Steve, Steve, or John very quickly, by December 26^th.  We may have recorded presentations with a moderator to fill in if need be.  We have the ASQ management division attending, others are considering it.  4 Vendors so far:  CIBL, Bizmanualz, Platinum Registrars, and ASQ QMD.  Our next SC committee meeting will be on Thursday 12/18 at 4:30 at the Crowne Plaza bar/restaurant.
