The Program Committee Needs You!

If you have a suggestion for a training session or are interested in hosting a roundtable discussion or even a full day training, please contact the Program Committee.  Opportunities for presenting or hosting an event are available for 2012.

NERCSQA Website

As noted in this space earlier in the year, NERCSQA is updating our website.  If you have any suggestions for content that you want to see included on this site, please send them to Patience Miller.

Membership Update

NERCSQA’s membership is growing and we have over 111 members for 2011.  Help us increase our membership by networking with your peers that are not NERCSQA members!  We also need your help in identifying ways to increase our membership and add value for our members! We are planning a networking event for later this year –this would be an evening event where you would get to network with your peers in a casual setting. If you have suggestions on a location – please send it along to Jen Bravo.

Member Listserv-forum with Document Library

With the NERCSQA Members Listserv-forum and Document Library, Chapter members are able to:

• E-mail the entire chapter using a single e-mail address;
• Include file attachments in listserv messages;
• Opt to receive a daily digest of messages instead of receiving each message as it is sent;
• Resply to a message directly via e-mail without going online;
• Browse, search and/or reply to messages in the online forum where listserv messages automatically are captured — searches can be applied across any/all SQA forums of which you are a member;
• View an online list of current Chapter members (always up to date, including all dues-paid Chapter members);
• Send messages to individual Chapter members via the online interface;
• View Chapter documents online — in addition, Chapter leaders will be able to upload and edit online documents;
• Access all SQA listserv-forums of which you are a member using the same logon that you use to pay Chapter dues online.

If you are a NERCSQA member and do not know the listserv e-mail address, please contact chapters@sqa.org.

To browse or search all messages, view the member list or view documents, go to http://forums.sqa.org/ and log on using the same username and password that you use to pay dues online (through your SQA website account).

** If you are a paid member of NERCSQA, you should already have a username and password with SQA, even if you only belong to the Chatper. If you think you may have an SQA logon, but do not know your username or password, please do not create a new account, as multiple accounts cause problems with password reminders and other features. Instead, use the link on the login page to request that your logon be sent to you via email. **

If you are certain that you have never logged on to the SQA website (to register for meetings or trainings, apply for/renew membership in SQA or a Chapter, etc.) please create a new account.

If you need assistance, please contact webmaster@sqa.org.
