New York, NY (Leadership Directories, Inc.) September 22, 2008 – Leadership Directories (LDI) is proud to announce that Leadership ® Online has been chosen by InfoCommerce as a 2008 Model of Excellence Award Winner.

“With its Leadership Online offering, Leadership Directories is breaking new ground by overlaying social networking functionality onto a paid subscription database. Its execution is powerful and elegant with an impressive visualization tool that not only allows subscribers to understand how individuals in the database relate to each other, but how the subscriber relates to the individuals in the database. This is a fresh, innovative and compelling business intelligence application,” said Russell Perkins, Managing Director, InfoCommerce Group.

According to InfoCommerce, the Model of Excellence Award highlights database products that are singled out to show how real revenue is generated by selling and distributing information online. Their website states that the editors of InfoCommerce Report, working in conjunction with industry consultants at Infocommerce Group, regularly scan the infocommerce landscape to identify companies -- both new and established -- that have important new business models, exhibit best practices or offer technological innovation as Models of Excellence within the field of commercial database publishing.
