2020 Association Awards

Welcome to the virtual celebration of

TAPPI's 2020 Association Awards

June 23, 2020   •  8:00pm - 9:00pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to the first-ever virtual Association Awards Ceremony. The ceremony is co-hosted by Peter Augustine, TAPPI Board of Directors chair, and Larry Montague, TAPPI CEO and president.

You will be able to watch the ceremony via Zoom, and also join a special “after party” to congratulate our 2020 winners.

To attend:

Click on the Zoom link below to attend the ceremony.  Once you are connected, you will be placed in a waiting room until the ceremony begins. We have muted everyone by default so we're not disrupted during the ceremony. Please stay muted throughout the event. If you are an awards recipient, please unmute your microphone when called upon to give your remarks and then please mute back once you’re finished. For those who may not know, just click the microphone icon in the bottom bar of the Zoom interface to mute or unmute yourself. You can also choose to have your camera on or off - that’s up to you, but please be aware that this event is being recorded for posting to TAPPI’s YouTube channel. 

At the conclusion of our event, please stay on and join us for our after-party where we will unmute our microphones and congratulate each other.

If you have issues during the event, please use the chat box to reach Heather Durden who is providing support. You can also text her at 770-826-8433.
