]> QWAFAFEW Worldwide - Quantitative Work Alliance for Applied Finance, Education & Wisdom http://www.qwafafew.org QWAFAFEW is an informal organization of quantitatively oriented professionals in various aspects of financial services (primarily investment management). The group was formed a number of years ago to provide a venue for quantitative researchers to discuss their evolving work with peers. As the field has become more &quot;main stream&quot; our membership has also broadened. Our membership includes a wide variety of interests and levels of responsibility. The members span the gamut from owners and senior executives of investment related organizations to recent entrants to the industry. Most attendees have some technical training beyond the M.B.A. level, and many have Ph.D.s All share a common interest in quantitative solutions to understanding investment markets. QWAFAFEW meetings are somewhat informal with a mix of social and intellectual content. Presentations are expected to be interactive (after a reserved period of at least 5 to 10 minutes for the speaker to present foundation material). Sometimes the interaction requires a kick-start. Typically, in keeping with the informal nature of the group, speakers use hand-outs rather than projection devices. Speakers who make materials available in electronic form for posting on the QWAFAFEW web site well before the meeting can expect at least half of the attendees to print out copies for use at the meeting. Presentations based on material used directly for client and prospect presentations is strongly discouraged (unless the presentation is unmasking fallacies and partial truths contained therein). en Job Openings [aka "Career Opportunities"] http://www.qwafafew.org/node/view/178 <p align="center"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Please visit <a href="/jobs">this page</a> for a listing of recently-announced openings.</font> </p> Fri, 10 Dec 2004 16:21:15 -0500 We are in the process of rebuilding QWAFAFEW Worldwide's Website and adding new chapters in Denver and Vancouver http://www.qwafafew.org/aboutQW <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16608" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <P><FONT face=Arial>We&nbsp;are upgrading to a new version of Drupal, the open source for most of our&nbsp;website.
