The annual Circle of Women event is aimed at broadening the awareness of and support of the YWCA’s programs. QWANtify’s President/CEO, who had been involved with the Circle of Women Committee since July 2009, also served as a table captain – additionally responsible for filling a table with contributors for the event. QWANtify garnered support from female executives from Target Interiors, Full Compass, The Employer Group, M3 Insurance Solutions, Alliant Energy, Schwarz Insurance Agency, and Wealth and Wisdom of Wisconsin.

With the use of the unlimited ride pass, riders can save over 57% off the cost of the $2 regular fare. The program is beneficial whether you use Metro to commute daily, once a week, or periodically for other activities and high volume events that may have limited parking availability. Madison Metro reports that recent studies show one of the most significant actions people can take to reduce their carbon footprint is to reduce their driving. The American Public Transportation Association reports that public transportation produces nearly 50% less carbon dioxide and nitrogen per passenger mile as private vehicles. Additionally, public transportation in the U.S. saves 1.4 billion gallons of gasoline, representing almost 4 million gallons of gas per day. QWANtify is happy to provide this alternative option to help promote a cleaner environment and reduce transportation costs for our team. See the City of Madison Metro Transit site for more information about the program. 2010-02-01T19:32:44-06:00 http://qwantify.com/blog/entry/QWANtify-team-back-to-the-bells-for-the-salvation-army/ http://qwantify.com/blog/entry/QWANtify-team-back-to-the-bells-for-the-salvation-army/#When:20:29:19Z On Saturday, November 21st, the QWANtify team once again manned a red kettle and rang the bells for the Salvation Army at JC Penney’s in West Towne Mall.
