General Announcements

Propose a New Standard or Technical Information Paper (TIP)

Getting started is easy. Do you have just a general idea for a Standard, or are you farther along and have a substantial draft? If you just have a general idea for a Standard or TIP, complete the New Idea Submission form. TAPPI will review your idea and identify an appropriate committee or group to work on your suggestion. If you are further along, send an initial draft to standards@tappi.org. From there, the TAPPI Standards Manager will guide you through the appropriate process to finalize and approve the new document.

Volunteer Engagement - Getting the Industry Involved!

In Spring 2020, the Quality and Standards Management Committee (Q&SMC) created a Standards Engagement Task Force to promote SSIG involvement. Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers on this task force: Chris Czyryza, Dave Carlson, Colleen Walker, Dennis Crawshaw, M. Todd Popson and Mary Kombolias. There have been over 80 updates to various SSIGs including 22 individuals increasing their Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) involvement and even new individuals have joined SSIGs. We have also worked with the task force to create more engagement collateral. Please feel free to share the flyers bellow with your friends and colleagues.

As always, thank you for all you do to support TAPPI Standards and TIPs. We look forward to sharing more updates with you soon! Join an SSIG today!

 

 
STAR of the Month
Meet a Leading Technical Expert in Papermaking!
Advanced Dynamics Corporation Ltd
Midwest Regional Manager - Appleton, Wisconsin

“We want to provide an environment for mill people to learn from other experts.” – Martti Tuomisto

Martti Tuomisto has been a valuable TAPPI Member since 1982. He is Chairman of the Coating Operations Committee as well as a member of the Papermaking Technology and Operations Committee, and the Coating Technical Program Committee for TAPPICon. He initially attended Helsinki University of Technology (Aalto University) in Finland and obtained a Master of Science (M.Sc) in Paper Science and Engineering. Then, he obtained a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of Wisconsin (Oshkosh). Tuomisto is  widely recognized as a leading technical expert in papermaking processes. He has a successful record in paper machinery business and product management, papermaking processes, paper grade development and paper grade conversions.Tuomisto’s robust experience in the industry radiates with knowledge and continued passion.

What sparked your interest in Standards?

My experience using Standards started in 1982. I was working for a Finnish company at the time in Marietta, GA. When there were questions about guarantees and meeting process performance criteria in the mills, it was important to know how process values were measured, evaluated and benchmarked based on Standards.

Even though I have used Standards in the past, I have never developed one until now. I’m currently helping a Finnish company called ACA Systems develop several ideas into TAPPI Standards and potentially ISO Standards. So far, they came up with four different ideas, and we’re working with TAPPI to ballot and publish the first one: Work Item (WI) 3036 High Shear Capillary Viscosity (ACA Capillary Viscosity) of coating color on paper and paperboard.

Want to Grow Your Career and Network with TAPPI’s Mentor Match?

TAPPI Connect Mentor Match: Accepting Both Mentors and Protégés
Mentor Match, TAPPI’s popular networking platform, connects students, young professionals, and experienced professionals to share resources and experiences, and work together to achieve professional and personal goals. 

Why use Mentor Match? It offers a real world education that is often not available in academic settings, and creates connections that are not often available on job sites. Protégés can utilize Mentor Match to ask technical questions or seek advice on business interactions or career paths.  Mentors can help new engineers learn key technical concepts, identify useful technical resources, and give advice on career development.

What is a Protégé? A young professional, student – or any established professional that wants to work with someone to grow and develop new skills and insights.

What is a Mentor? A professional with 5+ years job experience that is willing to help guide and enlighten future industry experts – or a Young Professional willing and able to help students as they begin to plan their career and transition out of school.

How long does this match last? Mentor Matches will be connected for approximately six months and participants can communicate however they choose; through TAPPI Connect, phone, Skype or email. 

What time commitment is involved? We recommend that mentors and protégés spend one hour per month communicating.  

How to you get started? Visit Mentor Match at TAPPI Connect to get started.
