In the Spotlight: Paula Hajakian - Tap into Power

 

As Technical Manager for paper and board at USG Corp., TAPPI member Paula Hajakian provides technical support, technology development, training, and more in her role. What does she rely on to help get the job done as effectively and efficiently as possible?

TAPPI resources, of course.

"TAPPI is always on the cutting edge," Paula says, "and their classes, courses, and conferences offer a wealth of useful information to apply directly on the job." She sees TAPPI as an invaluable resource for both industry veterans like herself, and also those newly minted professionals just getting their feet wet. A huge advocate of networking opportunities, Paula sees great potential in the doors that open when you are able to rub shoulders with the best and the brightest in the pulp, paper, tissue, packing, and converting industry. 

"It isn’t just the workshops and courses either," she points out. "The division and committee meetings are very helpful for getting specific guidance on any papermaking challenges or opportunities for new technology."
