Any member shall be limited to holding no more than three (3) high-level leadership positions at one time. These positions include: Alternate Regional Vice President (ARVP), Principal Facility Representative, Appointed Technical Representative (full or part-time), Committee member (standing or ad hoc), and Planning Committee member.
If a member is selected for a fourth leadership position, they shall step down from one of their other leadership positions within sixty (60) days. A member shall not hold the title of chair, vice-chair, or co-chair of more than one committee. Regional Vice Presidents shall not be the chair of a committee. Principal Facility Representatives shall not hold a full-time Appointed Technical Representative position.

Rationale: 1. Stretched too thin– If you hold too many roles, the benefit you provide to the members is degraded. We want our leaders to excel in their roles and holding too many positions does not allow that.
2. Discouragement– NATCA has many Members who want to get involved. Seeing the same individuals
repeatedly picked for multiple leadership roles discourages members causing them to stop raising their hands. This is a union of WE.
3. Diversity– Having a diverse set of leaders across our union makes us stronger. Having more members in leadership positions brings more ideas to the table, gives us unique viewpoints on tackling problems, and ultimately, benefits our members (which is the point of all this work!).
4. Mental health– There are members who don’t know how to say “no” (we’ve all been there). Our members should be given the opportunity to serve this union while not being overloaded. The union should focus on the wellbeing of members, and allowing members to take on too many positions or projects can be detrimental to one’s mental health.
