Posted on: Tuesday, 15 August 2006, 12:00 CDT

The Media Communications Association-International has selected Tendenci association management software to power its new Web site. The new site, www.mca-i.org, serves as a hub of information and industry resources for visual communicators, media professionals and suppliers around the world.

Tendenci association management software is developed and marketed by Schipul -- The Web Marketing Company (www.schipul.com). Tendenci is a Web-based application that enables associations to save time and money on administrative tasks such as content management and event promotion and registration, while making it easy to recruit and retain members.

"Media Communications Association-International expects Tendenci association management software to play a pivotal, essential role in increasing our membership base, enhancing communications and strengthening our online member participation," said Scott Fritz, a member of the board of directors.

Susan Rees, executive director for the Media Communications Association-International, said Tendenci's automated online conference registration and payment are simple and convenient. "Our members have grown accustomed to managing all sorts of transactions online, so making it easy for them to join and renew their membership through the Web site was a must," she said.

In addition to providing users valuable membership benefits by giving them access to resumes, job listings and industry resources, Tendenci's online marketing capabilities offers members more visibility and access.

The Media Communications Association-International's new Web site also features business and 'Find A Pro' directories for members to promote their services, as well as an event calendar to promote chapter meetings and production events. Additionally, the site's integrated Really Simple Syndication (RSS) function automatically spreads the word of site updates as they happen to those who subscribe.
