Named for NATCA's former Director of Safety and Technology, the Dale Wright Award honors an extraordinary,
positive impact made on our ability to call the U.S. National Airspace System the world's safest. This award, first
presented in 2012, symbolizes a career devoted to service to NATCA and safety.
This year's winners: Andy Marosvari, NATCA Procedures Rep; Garth Koleszar, NATCA Professional Standards Co-
Lead; Tom Adcock, National Training Rep; and Julio Henriques, New York Center (ZNY).
The Helping Hearts Award is presented by NATCA's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
Committee to the facility with 15 or more employees that has the highest percentage of people trained to use an
Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The NATCA OSHA Committee honored Providence ATCT (PVD) with the
Helping Hearts Award. When a person suffers a sudden cardiac arrest, their chance of survival decreases by 7-10
percent for each minute that passes without defibrillation. AEDs in properly trained hands greatly improves the
chance of survival from cardiac arrest. Great job, PVD!
