Honoring NATCA’s 2024 Regional Legislative Award Winners
NATCA proudly recognizes the 2025 Regional Legislative Award winners, honoring members who have gone above and beyond in their dedication to legislative activism. Each year at NATCA in Washington, the National Legislative Committee (NLC) spotlights a group of outstanding advocates for their commitment to strengthening congressional relationships, educating fellow members, and advancing NATCA’s legislative priorities.
