to improve and has helped train new employees, which helps us consistently maintain a
high level of administrative service.
I've mentioned just a few in the message, but I want to congratulate all of this
year's winners for their dedicated effo rt and teamwork this past year. You can read more
about them in Focus FAA this coming week and see a video of the awards ceremon y
once it's posted on MyFAA TV. As you can see, people are at th e heart of every thing we
do to support the NAS. Let's continue to step up, dedicate ourselves , and collaborate
with each other so we can be even more successful in carrying out the FAA's mission.
On that note, I'd like to ask you for input. The ATO is taki ng a fresh look at how
we design and deliver technical training to air traff ic controllers and technicians. With
your input, we want to reinvigorate our technical training program through innovation.
We're issuing an IdeaHub challenge: How can we use techn ology to improve ATO
technical training to make it more relevant, engaging , and effective for you? The
challenge starts on Monday, Aug ust 8 and runs until August 31. I encourage you to
submit ideas and/or provide your constructive opinion on the ideas of o thers.
Thanks everyone,
Teri L. Bristol
ATO Chief Operating Officer
