A direct lightning strike on TAPPI offices in late August has affected the telephone and
voicemail systems. We are taking corrective action and our evaluation indicates that a total system replacement is required and should be completed early November. Please bear with us as it will take a few weeks to correct the current shortcoming and implement a new solution to better serve you.
In the meantime, if you are calling TAPPI, you may not be able to leave a voicemail or it may cut-off in mid message. If you experience this difficulty, please either send an e-mail to memberconnection@tappi.org or call Member Connection number toll free at 800-332-8686 (U.S.) or 800-446-9431 (Canada). If busy, please use +1 770-209-7212.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding while we find creative ways to meet your ongoing needs.
