Metal Treating Institute Launches MTI Member Connect Community and Partners with NFi Studios

Orlando, FL (September 24, 2009) –Leading the industry, the Metal Treating Institute seeks to bring collaborative and relevant technology tools to members and become the sounding board and leader in the heat-treating industry.

MTI Member Connect, the name of the MTI Community was designed and developed by NFi Studios. The community, powered by MemberFuse includes a variety of features such as Collaborative Groups, Shared Resources, Facebook Connect Integration, a Member Matching feature and much more.   The integration of MTI’s member database of Avectra and content that already exists on CALLMTI.com will help create an engaging yet manageable online experience for MTI members. In partnership with MTI, NFi Studios will continue to enhance and evolve the functionality over time, taking advantage of new technology to maximizing the members' online experience.

“There’s a quote that says… ‘Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.’ Although I’m not sure who said that quote, they might have said it referring to Tom Morrison, his style of leadership, and his passion for excellence and innovation. He continues to inspire positive change for both MTI and the association community. Being selected as MTI’s technology partner and having the opportunity to work with Tom and his excellent staff is a privilege of the entire NFi Studios team. He’s not only a client, not only a partner, but an advisor and innovator who continues to envision the next chapter of the collective story we’re telling.”

- Sterling Raphael, President & CEO, NFi Studios
