nullNATA Offers Resource for Building Key Relationships and Facilitating Policy Outreach

NATA, in conjunction with the NATA Airport Business Committee, has developed an outreach program designed to help the association’s members more effectively communicate with and educate lawmakers and media on the challenges and opportunities faced at airports, FBOs, repair stations and charter operations. NATA’s Project Outreach plan provides tools to help member companies convey the value of business and general aviation through access to important industry issues and information on conducting facility tours which provide elected and media officials a different perspective of how their legislation and public interpretation directly affect the people and businesses they serve.

As an instructor-led, online course, the CTP saves participants time away from work and the cost of travel typically associated with in-person seminars and training classes. The course is derived from basic learning and on-the-job training theory and includes practical implementation strategies that allow attendees to have an immediate positive impact on training and morale.

Registration for the Safety 1st CTP is open now until January 23rd, with the first class scheduled for January 28th. Registration is $650 for NATA members. For more information and to register, visit www.nata.aero/events.
