Archie League Award
Do you know of any amazing Air Traffic events? We’re still looking for submissions for this year’s Archie League Awards. If it’s within the past two weeks, it’s incredibly easy to submit an event for consideration. Past two weeks, it’s more difficult but not necessarily impossible. Contact your rep for help if you need it. As of right now, there has only been one submission for the entire Northwest Mountain region. There’s only a short time left but the nomination period is for events that have happened between April 17, 2021 and May 1st, 2022. The deadline for submission is May 15th, 2022. Any member may nominate another member for an Archie League Medal of Safety Award. Our 18th annual banquet celebration of the Archie League Medal of Safety Award winners will be held on the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022, at NATCA Communicating For Safety 2022 at Bally’s Las Vegas.

Communicating For Safety
NATCA announced that registration is open for Communicating For Safety (CFS) 2022! It will be in Bally’s Las Vegas on Sept. 12-14 to bring together our members, representatives from the FAA, and leaders of the aviation community to discuss an array of safety and modernization topics. The agenda is still being finalized but will include engaging panels and again make this the aviation industry’s leading conference about safety, technology, and building relationships. Since this is a NATCA/FAA joint conference, EA is available. The National policy for CFS is on the link below and also our local budgets funds for this every year and reimburses airfare and food. CFS is a great opportunity, please try to take advantage of it. Also, I believe there are three different forms to fill out for CFS, make sure to do them all but as always, let us know if you have questions. After you have filled out the National Excused Absence Form, please turn it in to the OM and ensure they mark it with a time and date.
Important Dates:
July 20: On or before this date, NATCA members must be on the national excused absence request list. Local request forms should also be in by this time. For a local request form, please click here.
Aug. 15: Refunds will no longer be provided for registration fees or extra tickets for the Sept. 14 Archie League Medal of Safety Awards banquet.
Sept. 9: 72‐hour hotel cancellation policy is now in effect based on a Sept. 12 arrival. This date is subject to change, depending on YOUR registration arrival date.
Sept. 12: CFS 2022 officially begins at noon PDT. This year, we will have an optional session from 9:30-11 a.m. PDT covering safety and technology updates.
