Finding ways to improve performance in the workplace is a common goal among companies across all industries but what is the true driver of success? TAPPI’s 5th Annual Women’s Summit, April 30, 2022 in Charlotte, N.C., brings together leaders from top companies in the pulp and paper industry as part of a panel to address this question and discuss how to build stronger teams in the workforce. Panelists include:

• Deanna Duram – Managing Consultant, Trinity Consultants
• Maja Mejsner – Director, Service SMM Business Unit, Valmet
• Jay Stockard – Sr. Director of Product Development, Pulmac Systems International
• Rielle Walker – Associate Project Manager, TRC Companies

Moderator: Amanda Kernan – Marketing Manager, Valmet North America

Women’s Summit
Hosted by TAPPI’s Women in Industry (WIN) Division, the Summit was developed to provide a forum for women and men in the pulp, paper, packaging, tissue and converting industries to discuss topics prevalent and integral to women in today's workforce.

In addition to hearing a thought-provoking panel presentation, participants will have the opportunity to break into smaller, interactive groups to discuss their viewpoints on “Performance versus Trust” with other attendees. The Summit’s theme is "Shifting Gears on Performance and Trust – What is the ultimate driver of success?"

The Women’s Summit will be held from 1:00pm – 5:00pm ET on Saturday followed by a reception from 5:00pm – 7:00pm ET.  Open to everyone – TAPPI members and non-members alike.
