NATCA in Washington (NiW) May 1-3
Every year, NATCA hosts its NATCA in Washington (NIW) legislative conference, where NATCA member activists meet with Members of Congress to further our relationships and educate those Congressional Members and their staff on issues important to our Union. The opportunity to speak to our elected officials and their staff to adequately explain how they can help us is invaluable.
Two common concerns:
I don’t know enough about the issues
I don’t want to talk about the issues by myself
Great news: the first day of NiW is dedicated to educating you on the issues and the procedures. Secondly, as a first-timer, you will always be with at least one other veteran NiW participant. Registration is open now until March 8th, feel free to register but please let me know if you do. This is slightly different from other NATCA events, space is very limited.
Controller in Charge (CIC) Cadre Class
A last-minute class has opened up to be trained to teach the CIC class. This is a change from how we normally do it, where any CIC could teach the class. The hours of this class are a little different than usual, and that’s because it’s a class made for Guam, but they’ve got extra space. It’s March 5-6 from noon to 8 pm. If you’re interested, please let me know right away.
Have a wonderful and safe Superbowl weekend,
Amy
