Joint Meeting of the Executive Council and Community Chairmen

On Monday February 2, during PaperWeek, a joint meeting between the PAPTAC Executive Councillors and the Technical Community Chairmen was organized to discuss the status of the communities and how to continue to increase their value among PAPTAC members. Webinars are still the most highly considered and successful Community benefit but other activities such as F2F meetings, roundtables and mill visits have their own importance as well and need to be organized yearly. Members’ activities are very important, and each technical community should engage all potential stakeholders with a special focus on mill operations; for this reason we recommend all members to visit our technical communities and communicate with PAPTAC and read about their activities. We remind you that it is part of your benefits as members to belong to one or several communities which will provide a quality industry-specific network to develop your skills, knowledge and contacts, and stay abreast of the latest news and advancements.
