NATCA NATIONAL OFFICE
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,
and Regional Vice Presidents), and includes National Office staff in the Executive Office,
Government Affairs, Communications, Safety and Technology, Outreach and Special
Events, and Labor Relations departments; the NLC, which is composed of one appointed
member from each region; state and facility legislative coordinators; and, of course, our
dedicated NATCAvists. While it is very important to be well represented in Washington,
D.C., it is equally important that our program 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.
