The quality profession is in the midst of a significant transition — and technical expertise alone isn’t enough. To truly drive impact, today’s quality professionals must also master the art of communication, ensuring their voice resonates at the leadership table.

At the [2025 AIAG Quality Summit](https://www.aiag.org/events/quality-summit)**, October 1–2 in Novi, MI**, join **Jeremy Hazel of Plexus Corporation** for a powerful session on bridging the gap between quality practitioners and organizational leadership.
