ATLANTA, Ga – Each year, TAPPI enlists the support of members, volunteers and organizations to sponsor Student and Young Professionals memberships. This year, TAPPI exceeded the sponsorship goal by 172%.

“We’re thankful and honored to have such a positive and remarkable response to our sponsored student and young professionals membership campaign,” said Larry N. Montague, CEO and president of TAPPI. “Students and young professionals are the next generation of experts in their fields and are an invaluable asset to our industry. It’s inspiring to see how much support they have from our industry’s seasoned professionals.”

Sponsors’ contributions provided annual TAPPI membership to students and young professionals in the pulp, paper, packaging, corrugated, tissue and related industries. The recipients will have full access to TAPPI member resources and benefits that can help them jumpstart and advance their careers.

TAPPI expresses sincere gratitude to those individuals and organizations that helped support the future of our industry by donating to a student or young professionals membership:
