{{DISPLAYTITLE:What Role Can You Play with OTNA?}}
This is a team sport. We're synthesizing North America's industrial systems through stakeholder dialogues, research, and infrastructure planning. That requires diverse expertise and perspectives. Here's how you can contribute:


==== Introduction ====
= Roles =
Our first [[Industry Action Plan]] (IAP), VitalRail, supports stakeholders in making important improvements to specific industries in the name of economic and environmental long-term stability.  Through conversations and iterative IntelliConference Series, our Participating Stakeholders, staff organizers and facilitators drill into detailed dialogues to address the challenges, opportunities and breakthroughs.


One more important detail: if all we did was produce great white papers on these changes, that would not be enough. We maintain this site for stakeholders and staff to stay up-to-date via summaries and digests linked to deeper analysis.
