QUESTI ONS AND ANSWERS: THE NEW NATCA.ORG WEBSITE
Q : " Where can I find the new NATCA website?"
A : natca.org. You can also use natca.net or natca.com.
Q : " How do I get to the members only section?"
A : Go to natca.org and click the "MEMBER LOGIN" menu tab on the top right
side of the home page (or top left menu section if you're on a mobile device) . Here's the
direct URL for that page you can bookmark in your browsers:
http://natca.com/index.php/member - log in
Or, you can type in natcamembers.org and it will also take you to the new login
page.
Q : " I've reached the member login page. What do I enter?"
A : Use your NATCA Portal username and password. Do not use the username
and password you used to access t he old members website. That no longer works.
Once you log in to the new members section using your NATCA Portal credentials, you
can choose "Remember me" and your browser will save it for ensuing visits.
