NATA Hill Event Draws Large Audience, And Attention To Legislative Agenda

Trade Association Members Met With More Than 150 Members Of Congress Or Staff

NATA members blanketed Capitol Hill Thursday morning to push the association's legislative agenda. Nearly 100 NATA member company representatives met with more than 150 Members of Congress and staff to discuss a wide array of federal, state and local issues, including FAA Reauthorization and the Freedom from Government Competition Act. 

Day on the Hill participants began the day's events with a preparatory breakfast that included feature speaker Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE), Co-Chair of the Senate General Aviation Caucus, and then dispersed for meetings with their congressional representatives. Those meetings enabled the association's members to discuss with their Members of Congress issues critical to the future success of their businesses and, ultimately, to the economy of the country.

"Participation in the Day on the Hill has been rewarding personally and professionally, and is an easy way to get in front of your Congressional representatives and Senators.  The NATA staff gives you the tools and sets up the appointments - you just need to deliver the message and let your representative put a face on General Aviation," said NATA member Ted Hamilton of Landmark Aviation.

"These meetings are simply invaluable when it comes to the message our members can make with their Congressional representatives on important issues facing our industry," said NATA President James K. Coyne (pictured, above).  "As I do every year, I challenge our members to continue communications throughout the year to develop a firm relationship with their representative and thus a solid foundation for our industry."
