ASQ Workshops

Your St. Louis section of ASQ is continuing to offer informational workshop opportunities to our members and the community.  We have a variety of topics presented by subject matter experts.  Please take advantage of these offerings to enhance your career in quality and to support the St. Louis section.

 

The workshops have the following attributes:

  • Low cost!  Only $99 for ASQ members and $199 for non-ASQ members.
  • Convenient to attend!  The workshops are held Saturday mornings.  Attendees do not have to request time off of work and can attend on their own, without employer involvement.  We all work hard and we know how difficult it is to attend evening classes.
  • Half day!  Attendees still have the majority of the weekend for personal time.
  • Subject matter experts!  We are fortunate to have instructors that have expertise in the subject area of the workshop.
  • RU (Recertification Units) credits!  Each workshop is worth 0.5 RU credit in the education category.  It is easy to reach the maximum in the meeting category, so these RU’s will be counted towards your recertification activity.
