TAPPI Establishing New Tissue Awards

TAPPI’s Tissue Division is establishing three new awards to recognize outstanding contributions in the tissue industry:

• Tissue Innovation Award
• Tissue Lifetime Achievement Award
• Outstanding Tissue Educator Award.

"There have been some great contributions to the advancement of tissue and converting," says Scott Springmier of TAPPI, "and our TAPPI volunteers have decided we are long overdue to recognize them."  

 A committee has been formed to draft selection criteria and a nomination process for the awards. Any TAPPI member interested in participating should contact Scott Springmier.   

The inaugural awards will be presented during the 2016 Tissue360° Forum, May 16-18, 2016, in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. They will be given on an annual basis.
