History

The American Society for Quality’s Silicon Valley Section (0613) was founded in 1965 and was formed to address the rapidly expanding business base in the South San Francisco Bay area. The Silicon Valley Section was originally called the Santa Clara Valley Section but the name was changed in 2003 to reflect of the global recognition of this location as the creative center of the semiconductor and computer industry.  The Silicon Valley Section is one of the largest ASQ sections with approximately 1500 members and long history of providing leadership in the Quality field including a former President of the ASQ, and 13 fellows of the ASQ.  (for more history click here)
