The Process and Product Quality Division has some opportunities for volunteers to participate in TAPPI activities. The Division Council needs a Secretary to serve one year (2013) as Secretary, then move up to Vice-Chair for two years (2014 and 2015), and then to serve as Chair of the Division for two years (2016 and 2017). If you are interested in involvement in standards development, committee involvement is a good place to start.
The Tissue Properties Subcommittee of the Physical Properties Committee also needs a volunteer to serve as Secretary in 2013, then as Vice-Chair in 2014 and 2015 and as Chair in 2016 and 2017. The Pulp and Chemical Properties Committee needs someone to serve as Vice-Chair in 2013 and as Chair in 2014 and 2015, and someone else to serve as Secretary in 2013, Vice-Chair in 2014 and 2015 and Chair in 2016 and 2017. The Optical Properties Committee needs someone to serve as Secretary in 2013, Vice-Chair in 2014 and 2015 and Chair in 2016 and 2017.
Please contact standards@tappi.org if you have an interest in working on these committees.
