Introduction
The Paul W. Magnabosco Outstanding Local Section Member Award was established to recognize outstanding leadership and exceptional service to one or more Local Sections which has resulted in significant and demonstrable benefits to Local Section members. The award comes with a $2500 honorarium. Each final nomination must be endorsed by one of the TAPPI Local Sections. Individuals may submit nominations to the appropriate Local Section for their consideration.
The nominee must be an individual whose outstanding leadership and exceptional service in Local Section activities have resulted in significant and measurable benefits to Section members. The contributions may be through a single activity or through an accruement of longtime efforts. The only exclusion is that no currently serving Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, or member of the section’s Awards Committee can be selected for the Outstanding Local Section Member Award. Recognition for an outgoing Section Chair is provided by a Past Section Chair's plaque. The nominee's contribution should be apparent in specific improvements made in the activities of the Local Sections. Progress and improvement may be evident in such areas as:
- Management of the Local Section
- Special Local Section, or District projects or task forces.
- Public image of the Section, e.g., communications with members and potential members, general public, industry, government or academia.
- Organizational structure of Section(s) including guidance manual, officer training and operating procedures.
- Number and involvement of members.
- Direct services to members and industry, e.g., publications, seminars, home study courses or standards.
Deadline: August 1 for honors to be given the following year.
Instructions for Submission
Please complete the survey for submission. Questions can be sent to awards@tappi.org. If any forms lack sufficient room, please attach these on the supplemental data upload section with the nominee's name and question number. Sponsors can invite collaborators to contribute to applications.
At a glance, the following are required for submission:

- Service Contribution Data Form
- Supplemental data sheet
Selection
Once it has received all the necessary information, the TAPPI Board Nominating/ Honors Committee will review the data and submit a recommendation to the TAPPI Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may grant the award to the recipient if agreed upon by 2/3 of the members.
Multiple nominations by several individuals or groups for any one award for the awards is discouraged, since only one nomination per candidate is needed to assure full and careful consideration by the committee.
