2023 Trish Gilbert Legislative Activism Award

NATCA is proud to honor members who have demonstrated the passion to serve the Union through legislative activism. In 2009, NATCA established the National Legislative Activism Award to be presented at NATCA in Washington. The following year, at her first NiW as Executive Vice President (EVP), the award was named for Trish Gilbert, one of NATCA’s most effective member activists in our Union’s history. The Trish Gilbert Legislative Activism Award is given each year to an activist who has demonstrated the passion to serve the Union through legislative activism and stepped up to do extraordinary work.

This year, NATCA President Rich Santa and EVP Andrew LeBovidge joined National Legislative Committee (NLC) Chair David Skarphol and NLC Vice Chair Allison Schwaegel in bestowing the honor of this award on NLC Southwest Region Representative Corey Soignet (Houston Intercontinental ATCT, IAH).
