Note from Ned Hamson, editor of The Journal for Quality and
Participation:

If you have ever asked yourself or wondered...

     <I wish someone would create a conference that pulls everything
     together in one place>

     <I just want to hear from those who are responsible for making
     quality work in their organization, how they've done it and how
     they have brought things together>

     < My senior managers and senior union leaders need a learning
     experience that will show them how everything fits together and
     will be led by their peers>

If you answered yes to one or all of the above, the fact sheet that
follows is for you. This is the conference to bring your manager, your
manager's manager and your labor leaders to.
