2023 Ranger Outings: A Year in Review

Conducted by Connie Broadie
ASQ Section 0511 Historian, Chair for Voice of the Customer, Secretary

Short Description:

In 2023, ASQ Section 5011 offered four (4) Ranger Outings: Udvar-Hazy Center in February, Morven Park in April, Apothecary Museum in July and Arlington National Cemetery in September. Each of those Ranger Outings had a highly knowledgeable Ranger as a Guide. Three of the four were followed by a Networking Lunch, and two of the four had additional optional events. Each were followed by a survey of participants. Many pictures were taken at all parts of those events, with the best ones to show and tell about!

As the Ranger Outings Review Lead, Connie Broadie will perform our annual review of all four (4) of the 2023 Ranger Outings. She will present both the organizational and educational aspects of those events and will illustrate them with plenty of pictures, historical facts, and survey feedback in the process. Those who attended those events will have a chance to briefly voice their recollections.

This Program is a unique event, the next best thing you can do to actually being with us at any of those Ranger Outings. And some of us attended all four!

As a bonus, we hope Connie's Presentation "2023 Ranger Outings: A Year in Review" will inspire you to join us in person at our Section's future Ranger Outings and, perhaps, even to help organize them!
