ASQ makes its officers and member experts available to inform and advise the U.S. Congress, government agencies, state legislatures, and other groups and individuals on quality-related topics. ASQ representatives have provided testimony on issues such as training, healthcare quality, education, transportation safety, quality management in the federal government, licensing for quality professionals, and more. ASQ also works with the media on quality-related matters, providing informational resources and referrals to qualified experts from its broad member base.
