Thank you for joining a TAPPI Committee;
An overview of what to expect.

Thank you for volunteering to be a member of the Insert committee name here_______________ Committee. Per your request, you have been added as a member to the roster. 
 
Each committee has a unique process.  This brief overview will give you an understanding of standard committee guidelines. 

You will receive email announcements regarding agendas and minutes for the various teleconferences and meetings held at TAPPI events.  Please note that you will receive these messages sporadically, as all committees set their own schedules.  A committee’s face-to face meetings are held either in the summer of fall, depending on when their conference is held.
 
Participation in the calls will give you a better idea of what the committee is all about.   As you join in on these calls, feel free to ask questions.  If you are more comfortable contacting the committee chair outside of the call, I can provide you with additional contact information.  Just let me know!
 
Typically our committees will meet face-to-face at one of our larger events.  As you get more familiar with the committee I highly recommend attending their conference as they provide not only excellent networking opportunities, but also because it is always nice to put a face with a name and a voice after you have participated and worked with the fellow volunteers.

Here is a link to the <Insert Name> Divisions page on the TAPPI website.  This will help you navigate through committees in the <Insert NAME> Division.
