1994/1995 session

I am pleased to report that we have another successful year for the 1994/1995 session. A video show, three seminars, three works visits and two training courses were organised by the Society during the last session. These events were well received by our members and the participants from various local sectors. More than 300 participants attended these events.

We are very thankful to Mr. Warner Yeh and C W Chu who continued to serve as proctors for all the ASQC Examinations held in Hong Kong in the last twelve months. The Society organised two CQE Refresher Courses in 1995. The first of these courses ran in January/March 1995 to prepare members for the June 1995 ASQC CQE examination. The second running started in July and it will end in September 1995.

In order to improve communication with all members, a Post Office Box has been opened in September 1994. The postal address is as follows:

Hong Kong Society for Quality Control
P.O. Box 84375
Hunghom Bay Post Office
Kowloon, Hong Kong.

We have also printed 2,000 brochures to promote the Society¡¦s activities.

Our Executive Committee had 7 meetings for the session 94/95. My sincere thanks go to the members of the Executive Committee whose dedication and commitment are essential for the success of our activities.
