Article1 min read Jan 29, 2025STAR - January 2025 - SSIG Members NeededTAPPI's Standard-Specific Interest Groups (SSIGs) urgently need experienced professionals to join committees for seven critical paper testing standards, including reflectance testing, silver tarnishing, and accelerated aging methods. These volunteer leadership opportunities offer mid-career managers and technical leads direct influence on industry standards development while building expertise and professional networks. Participation is free and provides valuable benchmarking insights, technical specialization, and potential conference speaking opportunities. Without additional members, these essential testing methods face withdrawal at the next Quality and Standards Management Committee meeting, potentially impacting industry testing protocols.
