Tendenci(R) Software Powers New Interactive Web Site for Federal Flight Deck Officers Association

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - August 25, 2008) - The ability to rapidly exchange information and ideas is essential for securing commercial airliners. With the help of Tendenci (www.tendenci.com) association management software, the Web is playing a major role in enabling greater collaboration and making our skies safer. The Federal Flight Deck Officers Association (FFDOA) has selected Tendenci to power its new interactive Web site, www.ffdoa.org.

Federal Flight Deck Officers (FFDOs) are pilots who have volunteered to be deputized Federal Law Enforcement Officers. They play a vital role in securing commercial airliners -- and in particular the cockpit -- from terrorist and criminal assault. The nature of the FFDO's mission is so sensitive that much of the organization's Web site is restricted to members only and the members are required to keep their identities secret. Communication between members was a challenge and this secure forum allows FFDOs to exchange mission critical information providing a crucial benefit for the flying public, commerce and the national transportation infrastructure.

"We selected Tendenci as the platform for our Web site because it delivered the comprehensive security we needed, while still providing ease-of-use for collaboration and membership management," said the Director of Communication with the FFDOA whose name must remain confidential. "We have members spread around the country, so it is hard to communicate while keeping our identities confidential. The Tendenci package is an essential component in enhancing our ability to protect the national air transportation system."

Tendenci is developed by Schipul - The Web Marketing Company (www.schipul.com), a leading provider of Web-based solutions for membership organizations. Schipul also designed FFDOA's Web site, which features an extensive member's area with forums for pilots and instructors, instructions for handling emergencies, information about insurance and an online store.

Tendenci association management software is a comprehensive Web site solution that helps associations improve their operations online, increase visibility through search engines, attract members and get them involved.
