• Founded in 1987, we're one of the oldest community improvement associations.
• The Madison Area Quality Improvement Network (MAQIN) is a membership organization based in Madison, Wisconsin, dedicated to helping individuals and organizations work and learn effectively.
• We are an independent organization, supported only by membership dues and program revenues.
• Our annual Hunter Conference features the latest in continuous improvement theory and practice.
• We've outlived many changes in buzzwords. What was "quality improvement" became TQM, which became process improvement, then business effectiveness and so on.
• Our membership represents most major employers in the Madison area, from every sector including manufacturing, service, government, education, and nonprofits.
