TAPPI's Member Spotlight on Charles Bohannan, CAE

Retiring in August, Charles Bohanan, CAE has been a fixture at TAPPI for 40 years, having worked in a progression of different roles including his current one as Director of Standards and Awards. Charles has also offered to share his expertise gained over the years as a consultant, having set up Association Standards, Inc. in 2006 while continuing to work full time at TAPPI.

"I am one of those rare people who managed to have enough varying opportunities with one employer to keep my interest strong and make career progress," Charles remarked recently. "Staying with one organization for a long time used to be the career norm, but no longer. I am still surprised I managed to do it!"

With little more than a month left before retirement, Charles says he is looking forward to spending more time playing in a rock band he recently joined, Rockit 88, and picking up the pace on his piano lessons. He’s also hoping to find more time to devote to studying Spanish or French which will come in handy for his travel plans. Read TAPPI's full spotlight here.
