April 2021 Membership Summary

While we are holding our own in terms of membership numbers, it appears ASQ National has experience some small growth in membership in the last six months overall. Still reviewing the numbers, they are posted on the ASQ site.

While the numbers show a drop of three member(s) from February to March, the actual loss is 13 members dropped from February member numbers, for March we gained 10 new members for the April reporting cycle.

March 2021
March 2021 Membership Summary

We currently have 589 total members with 103 unpaid. We picked up 15 new members during the month of February.

From March 2020 to March of 2021 we have lost a total of 102 members (net) or 14.8% of the membership from March 2020. This is based on total carried membership, it does not account for new member gained during the same time period, in short we have lost far more but gained additional new members, during the same time period.

While the numbers show a drop of one member(s) from February to March, the actual loss is 16 members dropped from February member numbers, for February we gained 15 new members. West Virginia, Florida, Maryland and Virginia.

Keeping in mind that some 15 years ago we were an organization of 136,000. Now worldwide - 52456
That is roughly 38% of what the membership base was at its high point…. What are the reasons for this decrease in membership – changes in vision, mission, leadership, fragmenting of the quality environment, changes in the role quality/Quality plays in organizations today, or are large organizations creating there own quality systems independent of ASQ (how many companies have created their own belt systems for lean six sigma and other quality programs).

Of all of the membership categories we are only losing members in two categories, Fellow and Senior. We had one (1) fellow and lost them. But we lost 11.48% of our Senior Members. We have 162 Senior Members a year ago we had 183 Senor Members. I notice on the membership retention report we had 163 Senior Members renew. I have never been able to understand or have explained to me how ASQ math works. The last time I asked a question about the numbers it took four months to get a response which by that time was inaccurate and therefore useless.

August 2016

Apparently the information I reported a couple of months ago was incorrect. The section monthly growth and retention - April 2016 End of Month showed us as having a total of 662 members, a significant increase. I was hoping at the time that this was due to national's failure to update our membership correctly in the months leading up to April. When I was looking at this month's section monthly growth and retention - July 2016, I was afraid that I had copied the information out of the report or accidentally changed a number in the report. Unfortunately, the report for the month of April provided by ASQ national was incorrect. The area where the mistake was made was in the reporting of FULL member. April showed us as having 343 FULL members. June shows us as having 264 FULL members. July shows us as having 271 FULL members. I apologize for not recognizing the mistake at the time.

We currently have 565 total members; 271 FULL members up from 264 in June but down -8.14% from a year ago. Good news, we have 34 new FULL members in July.

Mike Coleman, Membership Chairman

June 2016

We now have 662 members a growth of 7.29%. We must be doing something right. The report shows only our section and is highlighted.

Mike Coleman, Membership Chairman

July 2015

Note: The latest data on membership is as of the last day of May 2015

We contacted the eleven new members, welcomed them to the section, and invited them to attend the next section meeting in July as our guests for their first meeting. That was quite successful as four of the eleven will be attending.

The attached section-monthly-growth-and -retention report shows:

Category May 2015 April 2015 Change

Associate 25 22 +3

Full 303 315 -12

Student 35 37 -2

TOTAL 585 595 -10

We will continue to contact new members to welcome them and try to get them to participate.

We will contact existing members to remind them to renew their memberships and invite them to participate in section activities.

Mike Coleman, Membership Chairman

June 2015

Note: The latest data on membership is as of the last day of April 2015

We currently have 595 members. Last year we had 683 members. Down 88 members.

In the past year we have 185 new members, 11 in the last month.

Overall growth 87.12 %

Retention 60.03 %

ASQ has established a goal of 88% retention. In our Region 5, the Delaware Section 0506 has the highest retention rate of 76.5. Unfortunately, we are trailing all of the other Section in Region 5.

The Good News - Our retention of Senior Members is 83.47%.

The Bad News - Our retention of Full Members in 48.99%

Mike Coleman, Membership Chairman

December 2014

There were 622 Members listed for Section 0511

Of these 622 for the most part we can probably count the following people out when it comes to coming to a meeting:

29 live in Maryland

10 live in DC

29 live in other states such as Florida, Georgia, California, Colorado, Missouri and others.

69 live in outlier towns such as Williamsburg and other towns in VA that are far too distant for them to come to regular meetings.

622 – 137 = 485

We have found that when we move the meeting to other towns, we just get other people that live nearby along with the core 10-15 who always come to the meetings. It really never adds that much to the attendance.
What does add to the attendance though seems to be the speaker for the most part. The place has to be clean and relatively quiet and have a setup where we can get decent food for a fair price, but the speaker is really what the draw is on any given night. Making sure that information goes out well ahead of time also helps people plan for it.
So it stands to reason that by picking restaurants in the cities where we have the top 10 number of members as listed below in numbers 115 – 123 below, we should definitely increase the number of attendees just due to proximity, but we will also increase the number of attendees with excellent speakers and a variety of informational meeting formats.
