We’ll soon announce the nominees for Ann Arbor’s Officers for 2022. September we’ll announce the nominees and the membership votes in the October Membership Meeting. November is the deadline for submission of our 2022 Officers.

Career Networking, Job Opportunities, Looking for Employment

We’ve created a discussion group, Job Board, just for networking with fellow Ann Arbor ASQ members. This is in addition to the overall ASQ job posting. You can post your job search, career transition, and any leads on a job. Our Placement Chair will follow up on the postings for awareness during our Membership Meetings.
