He's Found Time to Pay It Forward

Print this article | Send to Colleague

Recognizing all that he had received from the members who joined before him, Ian Journeaux, Ph.D., became a TAPPI member nearly 25 years ago to help "pay it forward." He says it was the ease of seeking out and engaging colleagues and peers that convinced him of the value of TAPPI membership, and what it might mean to a new generation of engineering stars.

Currently a Process Technology Manager with NewPage Corporation, he oversees process optimization, process troubleshooting and new technology evaluation. Ian says that TAPPI members were always a go-to resource when there were pressing problems to solve, and remain so to this day. He considers membership one of the most important investments that industry professionals can make in their careers – no matter what stage they are in. Find out the reasons why by reading this month's Member Spotlight.

Spotlight participants are recommended by fellow members and staff. If you would like to nominate a member (or even yourself!) just send their name (or names) to MemberSpotlight@tappi.org. We will forward a Spotlight Questionnaire to fill out and return.

We look forward to seeing you in the Spotlight!
