- Our Aug. 12 and June 24 meetings went very well from
8 am to 12 pm. On June 24 We had approximately 36 attendees and some lively discussion
regarding ISO and the role of registrars, consultants, trainers and auditors in
user groups. There were quite a few of the later in attendance but we also had a
good number of users. Thanks Diane Geldreich for starting what we
hope will be a long lasting resource for San Diego Quality professionals.
We wish her luck in her new home back east.

ASQ San Diego Section 703

Future meetings will be held about every other month from 9:00 to noon at
different locations. We will focus on specific clauses of the standard and
will have different speakers present on different perspectives i.e. user,
auditor, registrar, trainer, consultant.
Thank you ASQ Section 703 & 708 for your support. The users group is
looking forward to a continued partnership with ASQ. We will be promoting
re-certification courses as well as dinner meetings. Regards, Diane
Information outlining what it takes to start up an ISO
users group
1. Establish A Contact List. To start an ISO 14001 Users Group in
your area, I would first seek a list of registered companies,
www.aqs.org and
www.rabnet.com are a good
start. Try to establish contacts in each one of those companies. E-mail/Fax
mission statement, agendas......
2. Advertise. Here in San Diego we have an organization called IEA
(Industrial Environmental Group) if you have a similar organization contact them
to see if they will share their list or if they will advertise for you. ASQ
sections will sometimes advertise for users groups also. The local paper has a
weekly business calendar - listings are free.
3. Seek Sponsors. You will need a place to hold the meeting, perhaps a
local business will allow you to use their conference room and equipment free of
charge. It is nice to have refreshments when meetings are over an
hour....Registrars Training, Consulting, Auditing organizations are all
potential sponsor candidates.
4. Structure the Group Around the User. Users Groups fail because they
end up being comprised of only Registrars Training, Consulting, Auditing
organizations. Those organizations have their place, (sponsors, speakers) it's
great to get their perspective. Never lose sight of the sole purpose/mission to
exchange information so that it can be used by the individual who has to apply
it to his or her organization.
5. Establish a Mission Statement and Ground Rules- See 4. don't lose
control of the group to other interested parties. Keep the user list
confidential - suppress the mailing list. In San Diego we established a table
for advertising - we made it clear that everyone was welcome to place their
materials on the table but that's where it ends.
6. Assemble a Committee: It is too much work for one person. Set-up
and tear-down, Sponsors, Users, Correspondence, Agendas all too much for one.
7. Focus on the Standard. Each meeting focus on a specific element of
the standard. Have a User talk about how they have implemented and maybe a
Registrar on what they expect.
8. Solicit Feedback. Develop a comments/survey form. What elements of
the standards are users having difficulty with? Who do they want to hear from?
How long should meetings be? Where should meetings be held? Would any one like
to sponsor?...
