"None of us know exactly where the quality movement will go or need to go in the future. I do know that quality has much greater potential than has been realized," said Spong, during his official inaugural address at ASQ's Annual Business Meeting. "Whether on the factory floor, the classroom, an emergency room, federal agency, or local grocer-what you know about quality and performance management hasn't been used to its greatest potential. I firmly believe that we, the ASQ membership, have the talent and capabilities to shape the future and make the world a better place for us all."
Spong also voiced his commitment to continue advancing ASQ's key initiatives: the ASQ Learning Institute(TM), global expansion, member retention, and member value. He will also focus on governance to ensure ASQ is well positioned in the 21st century.
Spong retired in March 2004 after a 43-year career in the aerospace industry. During his career he grew from a single contributor in the engineering and technical disciplines to leading large businesses for Boeing Company. His career culminated as president of Boeing Aerospace Support, leading this $4 billion+ revenue, double-digit margin, and double-digit growth business to a 2003 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for service. Prior to this assignment, as vice president and general manager, Spong led the Boeing Airlift and Tanker Programs to receive the 1998 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for manufacturing. Spong is the only two-time winner of the Baldrige Award for two different organizations in two different sectors.
