HWA is excited to announce that we won the Greater Kansas City Small Business Green Commute Challenge in the category of companies with fewer than 100 employees!

Thanks to everyone who carpooled and made special efforts to drive less. Not only was it fun, we managed to rack up the emission and fuel savings. We received a Green Commute award from the Mid-America Regional Council. *Special recognition goes to HWA employee Ridgely Schlemm, who accumulated the most internal points through his bike commuting efforts. Congratualtions Ridgely!*
