CARY, N.C. — January 10, 2007 — For the past three months visitors to www.inda.org – the official web site of INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry – have been asked to update their member profiles and to provide information on their interests in INDA services. It was part of the association’s continuing effort to offer up-to-date information and important member services to the global nonwovens and engineered fabrics industry.

As an incentive to participate, INDA entered anyone updating his or her member information into a drawing to win a free 30GB iPod. The contest was for entries submitted November 6 thru December 14 and close to 1,000 individuals took part.

Earlier this month Mark Berman, of Fiberweb PLC, in South Carolina, had his name selected and won the iPod.

The giveaway contest continues for a second phase as well. Any INDA member who visits www.inda.org between now and the opening of the IDEA07 International Engineered Fabrics Conference and Exposition, April 24, 2007, will be eligible to win an iPod.

“It is important for us to keep in touch with our members and to get their feedback on what they want from their association,” explained INDA Director of Marketing Peggy Blake. “This is one way of giving people an incentive to communicate with us and to visit our website. Plus, it was a lot of fun.”

Being held April 24-26, 2007 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in the cosmopolitan city of Miami Beach, Fla., IDEA07 will bring together hundreds of companies and thousands of attendees from anywhere in the world where nonwovens and engineered fabrics are produced and used in finished products.
