ASQ names new officers
Published May 9, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
Robert Saco will become the next president of the American Society for Quality (ASQ), an international organization that is based in Milwaukee.
Saco will succeed Michael Nichols, who will assume the role of chairman on July 1.
Saco is the owner and principal of Aporia Advisors Inc., based in Coral Gables, Fla. His areas of expertise consist of strategic planning, customer satisfaction measurement, operational process improvement and reengineering, performance assessments, Six Sigma implementation, organizational design, and business transformation initiatives.
The ASQ has been a leading world authority on quality for more than 60 years. With more than 90,000 individual and organizational members, the professional association advances learning, quality improvement and knowledge exchange to improve business results, and to create better workplaces and communities worldwide.
"ASQ is becoming a global organization to better serve our members and to help promote sound quality practices around the world," said Saco. "I look forward to the day when ASQ transitions from an American society with international members to a truly global society with a home and inspiration in America. By reaching out and helping others across the globe we can take ASQ to a higher level of excellence. We are honor-bound to improve things. It's in our nature. And when someone asks what we do … I believe we should justifiably say that we're making the world a better place to live in."
The other new officers of ASQ are: president-elect Peter Andres; treasurer E. David Spong; newly elected board members Darlene Deane, Alexis Goncalves, Marc Kelemen, Art Trepanier; and reelected board members Belinda Chavez, Lou Anne Lathrop, Aimee Siegler and Steve Wilson.
