OVERVIEW
NATCA National Office
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.
NATCA Legislative Team
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 [EVP], and
Regional Vice Presidents [RVPs]), and includes
National Office staff in the Executive Office,
Government Affairs, Public Affairs, Safety and
Technology, and Labor Relations departments;
the National Legislative Committee (NLC), which
is composed of one appointed member from each
region; state legislative coordinators; facility
legislative representatives; and, of course, our
dedicated member activists. Although it is very
important to be well represented in Washington,
D.C., it is equally important that our activism
reaches members of Congress back in their home
states and districts. Here is a breakdown on how
NATCA makes our voices heard in the legislative
and political arenas.
