A safe haven for those with ideas outside the norm...

Look in "Events" (immediately below) for job postings

Contact the recruiter directly to express your interest.

NOTE: Until we can find a better tool, we are using the "Events" tool for job postings. If you know a recruiter, have them get in touch with me at jthompson@cellulosecommunity.net. The Board has agreed to let recruiters post here at no charge.

Thanks,

Keep careful records of your sign-in credentials

We have had a couple of people who have had trouble signing in after a few days. In every case thus far, it has been an issue of using the incorrect credentials. If you have a problem, email me your sign in email and password and I will see if I can fix it (email: jthompson@taii.com). I'll notify you when I fix it (if I do) and then you should log in, go to "My settings" and change your password. Thanks, Jim Thompson

The Library and Publishing

Committees and groups:

If you have anything you want to publish, there are two choices:

(1) You can supply your work in PDF form and we will put it in the library on this site. You can also upload PDF's to your committee site.

(2) If you choose to publish in paper form, we suggest you use www.instantpublisher.com. We have had great success with them and they are very economical. You will, of course, have to "pass the hat" for publishing funds, but that should not be too expensive for you.
