# Opportunity grows through people nearby.

We are connecting local schools, airports, museums, mentors and community supporters around the Roots2Wings pathway. Start with a useful relationship. Build the capacity to follow through.

## Three regions. Deliberate development.

| Region | Target window | Hubs | Stage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| West | 2027–2028 | Phoenix · Las Vegas · San Diego | Planning |
| Central | 2029–2030 | St. Louis · Chicago · Oshkosh | Planned |
| East | 2030–2031 | New York · Washington, DC · Lakeland | Planned |

## Our first focus: the West.

### Phoenix

Help connect Arizona schools and families with aviation, museum and engineering relationships. We are seeking convenors, mentors and introductory-course delivery conversations.

### Las Vegas

Turn early event conversations into year-round school, aviation, community and industry relationships. MCON is an early activation opportunity within this wider work.

## Regional windows can overlap.

The Central window runs from 2029–2030; the East window begins in 2030 and continues through 2031. That overlap is intentional. We will develop local leadership and delivery capacity at a pace the relationships can support.

## Nine local functions, working together.

| Local function | Contribution |
| --- | --- |
| City director | Convene the committee, coordinate next steps and maintain local accountability. |
| Airport connection | Connect aviation operations, appropriate access and the local flying community. |
| Museum connection | Bring history, interpretation and collections into learning. |
| School connection | Connect educators, families and appropriate participant pathways. |
| Engineer / mentor connection | Make technical questions and the people behind the work accessible. |
| Government coordinator | Connect relevant public services and civic resources. |
| Industry coordinator | Develop useful employer, provider and resource relationships. |
| Media coordinator | Share accurate stories and communicate local opportunities. |
| Community coordinator | Connect volunteers, local groups and practical support. |

## From an introduction to an active relationship.

A name on a research list is a starting point. An active partnership needs an agreed contribution, a counterpart, an owner and a next step. We will publish local leads and partner roles as those arrangements are confirmed.
