ICAN to serve as an online forum for INDA members around the world

CARY, N.C. — November 30, 2005 — INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, is harnessing the global power of the Internet to offer the INDA Communication Action Network (ICAN) for its members.

This unique business tool is designed to facilitate electronic networking among INDA members in the U.S. and around the world. Launched this fall, ICAN is essentially an “industry forum” that allows member companies to ask and answer questions, participate in discussion forums and read and share company and industry news.

Members can sign up for free for any or all of the ICAN email communities:

• Sourcing
• Technology
• Marketing
• Government Relations
• International Trade
• Safety
• Human Resources
• Small Business

“INDA’s members are, indeed, a global community and ICAN is able to bring them together electronically through the reach and ease of the Internet,” says INDA President Rory Holmes. “ICAN will help to make our expansive world a little smaller and will allow INDA members to share their ideas, thoughts and concerns with each other.”

Other communities will be offered at member request as well.

The ICAN process is simple for INDA members:

• An individual posts a question by logging in to the Members Only section at www.inda.org
• The question is posted to everyone who has signed up for that community
• The other community members respond from around the world with answers/suggestions to the question. The user can even choose to have the answers emailed directly to them.
• In addition, community members can log in at any time and get community news and participate in community forums and chats.

Everyone in any INDA member company is eligible for this service.
