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, Public Affairs, Safety and Technology, and Labor Relations
departments; the NLC, which is composed of one appointed member from each region;
state legislative coordinators; facility legislative representatives; and, of course,
our dedicated member activists. While it is very important to be well represented in
Washington, D.C., it is equally important that our activism 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.
