A Letter to your Boss

Here is a form letter you can copy, update and forward to your supervisor for approval to attend CorrExpo:

Subject: TAPPI CorrExpo Conference September 25-27 in Fort Worth, Texas

Dear (insert Supervisor's name),

I am writing to request permission to attend the TAPPI CorrExpo Conference - the premier event for professionals in the corrugated packaging industry - because I believe the conference's opportunities for technical training and networking within the corrugated packaging industry can help us improve our plant operations and gain a competitive edge.

Featuring highly sought speakers, seminars, workshops, exhibits and programs, attending this conference is the next logical step in our efforts to improve our plant operations and increase our productivity. The training sessions at the conference offer a face-to-face opportunity to accelerate learning at a faster rate than we can by using online learning, reference books or manuals alone.

I can review the schedule of technical sessions with you so we develop a customized agenda that relates most directly to our work and can help to improve my individual skills, as well as those of my colleagues, resulting in greater contributions to our company's overall success. This conference - and TAPPI membership - also provide networking opportunities with suppliers and experts from around the world. The TAPPI community is a powerful resource, providing access to local chapters, discounted reference materials to support my learning and committees that will increase my understanding of best practices and real world solutions. Becoming an integral part of this community will greatly benefit our organization as well. Take a closer look at what your plant team will learn by attending the technical sessions at the TAPPI CorrExpo at www.correxpo.org.

Thank you in advance for your consideration, and please let me know if you need additional information on specific conference opportunities and activities. I look forward to your positive response to my request.

Sincerely,

(insert Employee Name)
