• Koichi Asatani who throughout the inception of QAMC/CQR has contributed to both the Technical viability and stature of not only our group but to IEEE as a whole. He serves in every sense of the word as our best role model and ambassador.
  • Chi-Ming Chen who has served as the “glue” for maintaining the viability and value of QAMC/CQR from the very beginning. The “chief” is truly a fitting title as all major issues ultimately require his wisdom and calm approach to successful resolution.
  • Kelly Krick who is the undeniable leader of QAMC/CQR serving in multiple officer roles including at least two full terms as chairperson, chair of the Advisory Board and providing overall leadership throughout the inception of CQR.
