My guest for episode #131 is Paul Borawski, the CEO of ASQ, the American Society for Quality. Today, we are talking about ASQ, their recent World Quality Month events (November), and other topics including:

• Their “YouQ” video contest (vote on the submissions now via Facebook)
• The ending of federal funding for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (as I blogged about)
