Developing national-level alliances and unifying research priorities among the research community and industry stakeholders. Working to secure funding and participating in project advisory teams to ensure that much-needed research is actually achieved. Making extension and outreach to industry stakeholders a priority, aiding commercial adoption of new technologies and research outcomes. Helping our industry understand and communicate the value and importance of research to protect and promote research funding, whether from federal or private sources
