According to Ronald LaBrie, president of Humeng: “We, at Humeng, have been waiting a long time for a program such as the REP. There are so many training providers in the market, some are excellent and many are not. The REP allows firms like ours to be recognized as providing high-quality content, based on sound adult-education principles.” LaBrie applauds the efforts of TAPPI and encourages other industry associations to follow suit. According to him “Any learning provider that provides high quality products and services, based on best practices will welcome initiatives such as TAPPI’s. It provides a great service to providers and to consumers.”

Humeng went through the application process in March and became an accredited TAPPI REP in May 2005.
