title: A historical progression of the Midwest Regional Chapter of the SQA.
abstract: The Historical Committee of the Midwest Regional Chapter of the Society of Quality Assurance has recorded and tracked the evolution and historical progression of our chapter from the initial authorization of regional chapters by the national society in 1990, through its growth in membership and area served, to its current status in October 1996. This article describes this growth as well as meeting attendance, location and topics of the training seminars, membership distribution, and the significant milestones accomplished as the chapter journeyed through a whirlwind past.
