Santa, LeBovidge & Shallenberger Speak at Washington-Area Solidarity Event
NATCA’s Eastern Region in June hosted a solidarity meeting for Washington area facility members. The event welcomed NATCA representatives and members from Washington Center (ZDC), Potomac TRACON (PCT), Dulles ATCT (IAD), Washington National ATCT (DCA), Andrews ATCT (ADW), Baltimore ATCT (BWI) and more. NATCA President Rich Santa, Executive Vice President Andrew LeBovidge, and Eastern Regional Vice President Brian Shallenberger spoke to attendees about upcoming priorities, NATCA’s 19th Biennial convention, staffing concerns and progress, and the importance of legislative activism to advance aviation safety professions. PCT FacRep Amy Lark organized the event, which invited members from diverse facilities to interact with each other over pinball, other activities, and camaraderie.
