Action - Mission Statement

Nineteen years ago, PNSQC was created to increases the awareness of the importance of software quality. At that time, there were no other software quality conferences. Now there are several who have copied our format. The strategic planning committee will create new programs to serve PNSQC's mission. So PNSQC will again set the standard for others to copy.

Feedback from Ken on 7 Feb. 01: I need to explain why expanding past the 400-500 attendees is good.
