HVO Employees Become ASQ-Certified Managers of Quality/Organizational Excellence

     November, 2011-- The Certification Board of ASQ (American Society for Quality) announced that Louis Boram and Sean Brookshire each completed the requirements to be named ASQ-Certified Managers of Quality/Organizational Excellence. As such, both individuals have reached a significant level of professional recognition, indicating a proficiency in and a comprehension of quality management principles and practices.

     “ASQ provides certification as a way to provide formal recognition to professionals who have demonstrated an understanding of, and a commitment  to, quality techniques and practices in their job and career,” explains Jim Rooney, ASQ chair. “This is a great accomplishment and, although not a formal registration or licensure, it represents a high level of peer recognition.” A CMQ/OE is a professional who leads and champions process improvements initiatives in organizations that range from small businesses to multinational corporations in a variety of service and industrial sectors. A CMQ/OE facilitates and leads teams, establishes and monitors customer-supplier relations, supports strategic planning and deployment, and helps develop measurement systems to assess the organization. A CMQ/OE is also able to motivate and evaluate staff, manage projects, analyze financial information, identify and evaluate risk, and use knowledge management tools and techniques.
