June 2008	We have decided to meet September-November and January to May for a total of 8 meetings a year this coming year We will continue our roving meeting location as that seems to have worked out well. Generally we liked Panera but feel it may be too small soon. If you have ideas, please pass them to Michelle at Programs@ppasq.org. We're going to introduce a short segment every meeting about a topic directly related to the world of Quality Assurance. The first one, listed on the meeting page, will be about "multi-variate analysis." We're looking at some interesting topics for upcoming meetings, if you have ideas, please send them to programs@ppasq.org. Remember, programs must not be sales pitches :) We're considering offering the monthly newsletter as a .PDF file instead of a mailing. Details are coming We are currently working on our Section's Quality Management Program Helen Chaired, Brian, Cindy, Fred, Greg, Gregg, Jerry, Les, Sandra, and T'Chris attended
