You may apply for Senior membership status if you meet the following criteria:

• Been an ASQ Regular member in good standing for one year
• Have 10 years of professional experience
• Meet one of four professional criteria outlined on the Senior Membership application

Member units may not broadcast e-mail members who have requested not to receive e-mail from their member unit; if a member elects to opt-out of email from their member unit, the email address will not be provided in the monthly membership lists and reports.

In order to ensure compliance with this requirement, member units must download the current membership data on or after the fifth business day of each month. This will ensure use of the most current email address and preference on record.

Members may disregard email header and footer messages and request to opt-out by contacting the originator of the message directly. In this case, the member can be referred to the instructions in the footer message of the original email or the request can be forwarded to communitycare "at" asq.org to maintain the integrity of ASQ’s membership database. Member units must not maintain member information separately from the ASQ database.

After May 2006, member units will know from the EMAILPREF field on their monthly membership lists that a member has specifically requested not to receive email from their member unit. [Section policy is to actually delete the E-mail addresses, if present, from spreadsheet rows that indicate a  "N" preference to prevent accidental mailing.]

Members’ e-mail addresses must be kept confidential. Broadcast email must be sent in a manner which does not display email addresses on the distribution list. [Section policy is to use bcc]

Broadcast e-mail messages shall include header and footer messages provided by ASQ Headquarters that explain why the member is receiving the e-mail and how the member can opt-out of receiving future e-mail messages from the member unit. Email opt-out information must be maintained by ASQ Headquarters.

Required header message:

This message is sent by the Section 209 of the American Society for Quality as a benefit of your membership.

Required footer message:

Compliance with the Can-Spam Act of 2003: This email is being sent in the course of normal Section 209 business to the email address of record. We are not responsible for forwarded emails. If you no longer wish to receive email communications from Section 209, please unsubscribe.
