Leader Technologies Provides Critical Telecommunic

COLUMBUS (Sept. 2, 2005) - Leader Technologies, a business communications solutions provider, responded to an urgent call Tuesday, Aug. 30, from Louisiana officials following Hurricane Katrina to provide critical telecommunications services.
LeaderPhone®, a web-based conference calling service, was deployed immediately, linking the governor with dozens of federal, state and local disaster recovery officials, said Mike McKibben, Chairman and founder of Leader.

"Every agency, including many elected officials, was able to be linked up at once to discuss how to respond to this overwhelming disaster," he said. The company put five engineers on the call. "If they can get a dial tone, we can keep them in communications."
By coordinating their rescue and recovery efforts, Louisiana was able to better cope with the disaster and avoid miscommunications.

Ironically, Keith Voigts, CEO of Leader, is based is Pass Christian, Miss., an area nearly wiped out by the powerful storm. His wife had evacuated just before the storm. "Friends report that our home is badly damaged," he said. "They found a fish in the 2nd floor chandelier."

Leader is also actively involved with Homeland Security, providing infrastructure and support for incident command and tactical alerting. Leader Alert, a scaleable, two-way, rapid-deployment alert platform, was employed by Pass Christian harbor to alert boat owners prior to the arrival of hurricanes Dennis and Katrina.
