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.

Benefit from being a Mentor or Protégé with TAPPI Connect Mentor Match What is it? Mentor Match, TAPPI’s new networking platform, connects students and young professionals (protégés) with experienced professionals (mentors) to share resources and experiences, and work together to achieve professional and personal goals. What’s in it for me? Mentors can help new engineers learn key technical concepts, identify useful technical resources, and give advice on career development. Protégés can utilize Mentor Match to ask technical questions or seek advice on business interactions or career paths. 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. What is a Protégé? A young professional or student. What is a Mentor? A professional with 5+ years job experience that is willing to help guide and enlighten future industry experts. 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? Learn more about Mentor Match at TAPPI Connect, TAPPI's new platform to collaborate, share knowledge, problem solve and expand your personal and professional networks. Become a Mentors or Protégés on TAPPI Connect’s Mentor Match Program. SSIG Members Needed
