QWAFAx NEW

QUANTITATIVE WORK ALLIANCE FOR APPLIED FINANCE, EDUCATION, AND WISDOM

RE-BRANDING & ETYMOLOGY

The Quant society formerly known as New York QWAFAFEW has re-branded & re-launched as “QWAFAxNEW“ following elections, democratic due process & given the outpouring of support to restore civility & re-focus the mission on meetings, members and quality content.  

With this new website we take the opportunity to articulate that the choice of our new name was motivated by the desire to:
a] remain symbolically tethered to QWAFAFEW (albeit a tenuous link at best) while at the same time charting a NEW course as reflected by the change of a single letter &
b] to embody the NEW YORK geography of this founding chapter in the spirit of TEDx &
c] to encapsulate the “exponential” possibilities through the “x” in QWAFAx analogous to TEDx
