Register Now for NATCA in Washington 2019

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

Brothers and Sisters,

Registration for NATCA in Washington 2019 is now open. Our Union continually faces new legislative challenges, and this year has been no exception. NATCA in Washington gives our Union a tremendous opportunity to spend time on Capitol Hill, educating our elected officials about the vital work that we do.

Each year, we strive to put on a first class event and create a great experience for our activists. Whether you are a veteran attendee or a first-timer, we are confident that you will learn something new, build great relationships, and help our Union make our collective voice heard on Capitol Hill.

We know that getting leave is always a challenge. If you want to attend, but are still trying to work out leave, we encourage you to register. It is easier to drop a room from our room block than it is to try to pick one up at the last minute.

Below is the registration link and several other items that should answer some of the basic questions you may have.

In Solidarity,

Steve Weidner, Chair

National Legislative Committee

The deadline for registration is April 8, 2019. It is our goal at NATCA in Washington to have as many Congressional districts represented as possible. First priority for attendance selection will be based on the Congressional districts in which registrants reside.

If you wish to attend but are unsure if your leave will be approved, PLEASE REGISTER. Again, it is far easier to cancel a room than to add one at the last minute. Attendance confirmation will be sent out on or about the week of April 15, 2019. This will give you adequate time to take advantage of advanced-purchase airfare. Your attendance is NOT guaranteed until you receive confirmation from your National Legislative Committee (NLC) member.

If your local will be paying for your expenses to attend NATCA in Washington, DO NOT make any travel reservations/arrangements until you have received purchase approval from your local FacRep/E-board.

Single Room / Roommate Requests

Please note that all hotel rooms are non-smoking. Single rooms are on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are booked in a single room, you will be responsible for 1/2 of room charges per night (half the cost is approximately $183 per night). If you do not indicate your choice of room (single or double) it will be assumed you want a roommate and one will be assigned to you.

If you request a double room, and do not specify a roommate, your roommate will be assigned by your regional NLC member. We always attempt to room members from the same region together (unless specifically requested otherwise), but if there is an odd number of attendees, you may be required to room with someone from another region. Please make sure you have coordinated with the roommate you've requested PRIOR to registering. This will avoid confusion in the rooming process.

Transportation expenses (airfare, train ticket, etc.) and incidental travel costs (i.e. cabs, tolls, etc) will NOT be reimbursed from the NATCA in Washington budget. If your local will be paying for your expenses to attend NATCA in Washington, DO NOT make any travel reservations/arrangements until you have received purchase approval from your local FacRep/E-board.
