2.) Greetings from our Mansfield Section Chair :

Hello fellow Quality Professionals,

Well March Madness is officially over! My bracket got blown up very early as I am sure a lot of other people's did. I am shifting my focus on rooting for the Cavaliers to make it to the Play-Offs again this year. Lets Go Cavs!

This month we are going to be touring Emerson Process Management (formerly Shaffer Valve) on Park Avenue West in Ontario (close to Walmart). This is an opportunity for the Quality Manager (one of our own members), Shannon Eshelman, to show us how he has taken this company by storm! We have heard a little about what he has done during Ellie's ISO 9001:2015 presentation. Please plan on joining us Thursday, April 13th @ 6 PM for this exciting tour!--

Thanks,

JANICE E LITZSection 0811 Chairman
