FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial Executives International (FEI), the preeminent association for financial executives, today announced a new Web address. As of today, http://www.financialexecutives.org/ will be the new Web address for the organization''s comprehensive website (changed from http://www.fei.org/).

This change serves to reinforce FEI's commitment to financial executives and the specific issues that relate to them - the community of financial executives that FEI represents. Later this year a redesigned website - with improved navigation - will be launched to further enhance the role FEI plays in connecting financial executives with information, resources and each other. FEI's old domain address was released to the Federation Equestre Internationale, the governing body for horse sport. An interim web page will direct visitors to http://www.fei.org/ to choose either group's site for 45 days. FEI Canada's web site, http://www.feicanada.org/ will not change.

"After a recent branding study, it came to our attention that some in the marketplace may still be unclear as to FEI's purpose, which is a dedicated focus on financial executives," said Michael P. Cangemi, president and CEO of FEI. "We expect the Web address transition to be smooth, and encourage members and non-members alike to visit the site at its new address and take advantage of the array of news, research and resources it offers."

The site http://www.financialexecutives.org/ is a valuable source for information on the most important issues currently facing financial executives, providing some of the most significant thought leadership resources in the finance and accounting arena. Site features include headlines and archived content including:
