Elected National Executive Board (NEB) members shall be the principal leads of all NATCA national negotiations and/or agreements with the Agency. By a vote of 2/3rds, the NEB may delegate the principal lead to an appointed representative(s).

Rationale: Over the past several years NATCA has seen drift away from elected representatives dealing with the Agency on most topics. This amendment is designed to require that the leads for NATCA engagement with the Agency is returned to elected leaders. The intent is not to move Article 114 roles and responsibilities from scoped appointed positions to elected positions. But to ensure elected leaders are the forward-facing leaders of the organization.
