Why register as a non-member?

If you have never registered an account with TAPPI, becoming a TAPPI Non-member is a great way to explore what TAPPI has to offer. As a non-member, you can participate in community discussion with other members and non-members, as well as TAPPI staff. 

If you would like to become involved with a TAPPI committee, visit TAPPI.org to become a member.

TAPPI is broken down into the following volunteer segments:

Technical Committees

TAPPI members can join any of nearly 80 different Technical Committees. Involvement in Technical Divisions and Committees gives TAPPI members the opportunity to meet and work with other members to share ideas and solve problems.

Local Sections

TAPPI's 15 Local Sections involve over 7500 members from almost every part of the United States. The sections, which are organized geographically, hold meetings, and sponsor mill tours, technical programs, and workshops tailored to the member needs. They allow professionals to focus on specific topics that may be unique to their respective geographical area, and develop a network of industry contacts.

Student Chapters

TAPPI Local Sections sponsor 27 Student Chapters located on college campuses with curricula relevant to the paper and related industry. The chapters offer students an opportunity to meet their peers, interact with future employers and industry veterans, tour various facilities, and contribute to technical programs.
