FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 15, 2003

WASHINGTON - PICnet, Inc. (www.picnet.net), a technology consulting firm for non-profit organizations, has successfully developed and launched a CD-ROM based training solution that teaches part-time volunteers of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) quickly and conveniently. PICnet created the CD-ROM training program to allow all of the 117 CFF centers nationwide to provide a standardized training program for its thousands of volunteers.

This training program has allowed the medical professionals at centers to spend less time training these volunteers and dedicate themselves entirely to their patients. PICnet's technology helps these volunteers learn at their own pace through presentations and quizzes, guaranteeing the needed level of high quality expertise.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has aggressively pursued its goal of developing the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis. The Foundation has established more than 100 accredited centers throughout the nation to diagnose and provide care for those with the disease. The staff includes physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, other medical professionals, and volunteers who undergo thorough training.
