CONGRESS 101
NOTES:
Congress 101 will review the basic structure of government with an emphasis on congressional leadership and the
committees that are relevant to NATCA.
Why should I attend? Both first-time attendees and experienced legislative activists can learn something from this class.
In order to be a truly effective activist, you must understand how Congress and its committees are structured. This class will
cover the basic structures of both the House and Senate, give you a better understanding of government leadership, and
why some congressional committees have such a large impact on NATCA.
Instructor:
Richard Kennington is the Northwest Mountain National Legislative Committee Chair. He also serves as FacRep at Portland
Tower, Oregon. During his time with the National Legislative Committee, Kennington has made it a priority to give NATCA members a
strong legislative foundation upon which they can become better activists.
