IT Committee Meets at National Office

NATCA’s IT Committee members met at our National Office on Oct. 3-4. The group discussed the current process for receiving and responding to requests for support, including reviewing some tools that would allow NATCA to potentially use artificial intelligence to automate some of this process to provide quicker responses to member requests. In addition, the committee discussed the administration of NATCA email accounts and Office 365/Teams Licenses, the continued effort to complete our Union’s new database MyNATCA, planning around improving NATCA’s website, and possible meeting dates in 2024.
