My Nonprofit Reviews

After learning of Dr. Deming in the 1980s, I was fortunate to meet him in 1990 (see handshake in photo) and later attended his last Four Day Seminar in December 1993. Sitting to my right, throughout this seminar was a Rabbi, who sat quietly all day, for 4 days, praying for Dr. Deming. In asking the seminar organizer why a frail Dr. Deming, now in a wheelchair, was delivering this seminar, the Rabbi learned "you don't understand, there is no place Dr. Deming would rather be." What I gained from Dr. Deming on these two occasions was the start of a personal transformation, to which I credit Dr. Deming and those who he worked with to launch The Deming Institute. It was an honor to serve as a Board Member for 12 years and then a full-time staff member for 2.5 years. There is no organization I would rather donate my time, money, and energy to than one dedicated to the aim of enriching society through the Deming Philosophy.
