On Monday, Dec. 5, NATCA held its third annual Corporate Partnership Reception at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. As part of NATCA’s commitment to building strong collaborative relationships with aviation industry partners and leaders, NATCA President Paul Rinaldi, Executive Vice President Trish Gilbert, National Organizing Committee Chairman John Bratcher, and Director of Safety and Technology Jim Ullmann met with NATCA corporate member representatives throughout the day to discuss the future of the National Airspace System and how to best maintain safety as technology evolves.
Facilities across the country are showing strength through solidarity and giving back to their communities. Los Angles Center (ZLA) has stepped up and adopted families through the Salvation Army’s holiday program.
“Today was an awesome and humbling day,” said ZLA FacRep Nate Pair. “Our ZLA NATCA brothers and sisters, along with other ZLA employees, adopted seven families through the Salvation Army’s holiday program. The donations brought in by controllers and their families totaled over four truck loads! We were able to deliver the gifts today and the looks on the children’s faces were priceless. We are so thankful for the response from ZLA to aid these families going through tough times. Thank you to every person at ZLA who donated for their amazing generosity. Thank you Martin Ramirez, James Decker, Jerry Roberts, and Lindsay Plein for helping deliver all the gifts today and making sure all the families’ gifts were in order! Special thank you to Carmen Martinez for the coordination in setting all of this up.”
