TAPPI announces enhanced, flexible Sustaining Member benefits.

In the most comprehensive change to the TAPPI Sustaining Member program since its inception more than 75 years ago, the TAPPI Board of Directors has approved a new flexible benefits plan for TAPPI Sustaining Members. Starting this fall, Sustaining Member companies will have the opportunity to customize their membership.

Under the new plan, in addition to a core set of valuable member benefits, each Sustaining Member company will have the opportunity to choose either a technical information or a marketing package. Each package includes exclusive new benefits and services. The technical package provides companies with unparalleled access to TAPPI's industry-leading technical information through conferences, publications, educational opportunities, and more. The marketing package features a variety of benefits designed to meet the specific needs of companies who provide products and services to the industry. With the flexibility and enhanced benefits of this plan, TAPPI's Sustaining Member companies will be able to choose the membership benefits that best meet their needs and corporate objectives.

According to Mike Wallace, TAPPI President, "We're pleased to announce this new program for our Sustaining Members. As the industry changes it is becoming evident that the needs of our Sustaining Members are also changing. The new flexible membership plan was developed to enhance the value of TAPPI Sustaining Membership to the various companies who support TAPPI through Sustaining Membership."

Hundreds of companies in the pulp, paper, and converting industry rely on their TAPPI Sustaining Membership for technical information, education, and industry recognition. For details about the new Sustaining Member benefits packages, please visit www.tappi.org/index.asp?pid=23320.
