TAPPI Supports P&P Industry DEI For manufacturers of pulp and paper, support for DE&I efforts can be found through TAPPI. The association's commitment to supporting gender and age diversity has become an integral part of its mission. The Women in In- dustry (WIN) and Young Professionals (YP) Divisions were both launched to attract and retain a more diverse work- force, while also providing the educational resources and networking opportunities needed to help advance careers. TAPPI continues to build and expand on its DE&I efforts with the launch of its new DEI scholarship for underrepre- sented students with an interest in working in the paper, packaging, or converting industry. The scholarship was established in support of populations that include (but are not limited to) African American, Native American, Hispan- ic and Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities. All applicants must be students enrolled in an under- graduate or graduate program and must demonstrate an interest in a career in paper, pulp, tissue, and packaging. “The purpose of the inaugural TAPPI DEI Scholarship is to reach underrepresented students who may not know there are opportunities in our industry and assure them that the TAPPI community welcomes and values their con- tributions,” says Larry N. Montague, President and CEO, TAPPI. In addition, TAPPI’s PIMA Division, which focuses on management issues specific to the pulp, paper, and pack- aging industries, has formed a new committee with a mis- sion to promote policies and practices that encourage the attraction, retention, and engagement of a diverse work- force, leading to a more sustainable industry. This volunteer group supports the business case for creating and cultivating a DEI strategy within the TAPPI community, as well as within their own organizations. Representatives from many different areas of the in- dustry — including manufacturers, suppliers, consultants, and academia — serve on the DEI Committee. If you are involved in DEI initiatives for your company or have some- one at your company involved in this role who would like to be a part of this committee, please reach out to Lisa Lockwood (llockwood@tappi.org), PIMA Division Manager, for more details. Chad Moutray is the Chief Economist for the National Association of Manufacturers.
