This Spring, TAPPI is launching a new community platform – TAPPI Connect. This platform will provide an online resource for members, non-members, and volunteers to collaborate, share knowledge, problem solve, and expand their personal and professional networks.  

This centralized platform will be available 24 hr. a day, 7 days a week, and is supported by an extensive customer service system to ensure reliability, user-friendliness, convenience, and accessibility. Users can participate in real-time communication as well as create blogs, ask and answer questions, recruit volunteers, and enhance their membership standing. TAPPI Connect holds content for member profiles, committees, calendars, discussion threads, and file sharing for things such as agendas, meeting minutes and manuscripts.  

This new platform will provide:

• A centralized place where industry professionals, students, and consultants can come together to actively connect around topics, interests and research areas.
• A secure space for members and volunteers to share and communicate without unsolicited interference from advertisers or other third parties.
• An online home for every TAPPI committee to have an online presence, store and share documents, and collaborate, communicate and thrive.
• A comprehensive directory of industry professionals available.
• A platform for ideas, content, tools and other resources.
