ASPI

ASPI is led by a President who presides over an Executive Committee composed of the Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Officers are elected for two-year terms after being nominated by a Nominating Committee chaired by the immediate Past President. The roles and responsibilities of the officers of ASPI are defined within the Bylaws.

ASPI has a 12-member Board of Directors. Board members serve for staggered three-year terms, resulting in a new class of four Directors elected at each annual meeting.

ASPI is managed by TAPPI, a leading non-profit association for the pulp, paper, packaging, and converting industries. However, ASPI is an independent association that uses TAPPI's Association Management Services. Eric Fletty, TAPPI Vice President of Operations, currently serves as Executive Director of ASPI.
