NATCA takes a comprehensive approach to its legislative and political program. The team is guided by NATCA's
national leadership (the President, Executive Vice President, and Regional Vice Presidents), and includes
National Office staff in the Executive Office, Government Affairs, Public Affairs, Safety and Technology, and Labor
Relations departments; the NLC, which is composed of one appointed member from each region; state legislative
coordinators; facility legislative representatives; and, of course, our dedicated member activists. While it is very
important to be well represented in Washington, D.C., it is equally important that our activism reach members of
Congress back in their home states and districts. Here is a rundown on how NATCA makes its members voices
heard in the legislative and political arenas.
NATCA's National Office works to carry out the goals and initiatives set by the Union's National Executive
Board. NATCA influences U.S. aviation policy by educating elected officials in Congress and the executive
branch (the White House, Department of Transportation, and the Federal Aviation Administration) about
aviation safety-related matters and other policy issues affecting NATCA's membership at the federal, state,
and local levels. The NATCA staff collaborates internally as well as with external organizations to conduct
research on air traffic control issues for policy and position papers. The staff also works alongside the NLC
to lead a stellar political program with the goal of increasing NATCA's visibility and influence on Capitol Hill.
