{{DISPLAYTITLE:What Role Can You Play with OTNA?}}
If you think its is time for real change join us! This is a team sport. We're advancing North America's industrial systems through stakeholder dialogue, [[Collaborative Industrial Optimization]], and in-the-field action. That requires diverse expertise and perspectives. Here's how you can contribute:


==== Introduction ====
= Roles =
CAPSI and 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, CAPSI organizers and facilitators drill into the detail of the goals to address the challenges, opportunities and breakthroughs.
Use our Interest Form to express your interest in any of these roles!


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