Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Did you resolve to make a difference in 2022? Consider participating in TAPPI Standards. You can make a difference in our industry in 20 minutes or less.
Each TAPPI Standards Test Method has a Standard Specific Interest Group (SSIG) made up of industry professionals who regularly review and vote on that Test Method. Each of the more than 240 SSIGs must have a minimum of 10 volunteers to conduct a valid review. There are currently 10 standards in the areas of Chemical Properties, Fillers and Pigments, and Optical Properties that need one volunteer to complete a review cycle.
The Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) T604 cm-09 Sulfur Dioxide in Sulfite Cooking Liquor needs five or more volunteers.
Participation requires 20 minutes or less over the course of a year. There are no obligated meetings to attend and it’s an easy way to impact the industry while sharing your technical knowledge and growing as an influencer. You don’t have to be an expert to participate, and young professionals are encouraged to join. Get started today at tappi.org/joinstandards and join a SSIG.
