Independent Technical Committees

Our Independent Technical Committees work together throughout the year to solve problems, develop technical papers, plan conference sessions, and more. 

We are proud to provide TAPPI Connect as a centralized, online resource for our members, consultants and volunteers to network, share knowledge, problem solve and collaborate.

The committee links will direct you to the TAPPI Connect Community pages to get involved in discussion and more.
