The WQA Podcast

wqa.org/blog -- Our guest in this week’s WQA Radio podcast is Greg Reyneke, Managing Director of Red Fox Advisors in Portland Oregon. Red Fox is a diverse wholesale distribution, outsourcing and consulting group. He chairs the WQA Professional Certification Committee.

"The WQA Education program is one of the most important things in our industry right now because it allows professionals to become true professionals," said Reyeke during the podcast. "It's one thing to say that you're good. It's another to go out, learn, do and prove that you're good. And that's what the Modular Education Program (MEP) does."

Reyneke also talked about the challenges facing the industry. He says one of the challenges is a lack of awareness.
