This year, National Volunteer Week (April 23 – 29) coincides with TAPPI’s 10th Annual PaperCon in Minneapolis, Minn., USA. Attendees at PaperCon are encouraged to visit the association’s information table to learn about available volunteer and networking opportunities.

 

"We are indebted to our many talented and dedicated member volunteers, not just during National Volunteer Week, but every day of every year," noted TAPPI President and CEO Larry N. Montague. "Thanks to their efforts, the standards you use, the technical papers you read, the research that appears in TAPPI Journal, and much, much more, are all products of their ingenuity, hard work, and talent. For more than 100 years, TAPPI volunteers have significantly impacted the pulp, paper, tissue, packaging, and related forest products industries. They are the leaders, the movers, and the shakers. It is our distinct honor to be able to recognize their efforts and to say thank you for all they do."

 

TAPPI membership offers professionals numerous channels to hone their skills, as well as ample opportunity to help develop solutions to industry challenges through networking, information sharing, and access to technological developments.
