ATCA Committees - Sign Up Open

As ATCA works with the FAA, NASA, DoD, industry, and other associations to develop airspace integration solutions, this committee will provide guidance and assistance with the operationalization of strategies like the Info-Centric NAS Strategy. Also, as many of you heard at our ATCA Global event in November, we are working closely with FABEC on areas central to the success of a fully integrated global airspace system for all users around the globe. For questions about the committee, you can contact the ATCA liaison Bridget Dongu bridget.dongu@atca.org. 

The lifeblood of any association are the members. The mission of this committee is to provide advice to ATCA’s leadership on membership matters pertinent to ATCA’s mission responsibilities to support and promote progress in the science of airspace integration and air traffic management, and the preservation of a safe flight environment. The committee will take an active role in establishing membership activities that will increase member value, increase member diversity, and ultimately retain and increase overall ATCA membership. For questions about the committee, you can contact the ATCA liaison Glenn Cudaback glenn.cudaback@atca.org. 

The ATCA Scholarship program was started in 1983 when it recognized one student with a small scholarship award. It has grown exponentially since then, supporting 8-12 students each year, with $75,000 in scholarships awarded annually. As of 2023, ATCA has given away nearly $1.5 million dollars to deserving students. The mission of this committee is to provide advice to ATCA’s leadership on scholarship matters pertinent to ATCA’s mission. The committee will take an active role in developing fundraising activities that will achieve stated goals. The ATCA Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to outstanding aviation students and children of air traffic controllers. ATCA's wonderful candidates, exceptional winners, and generous scholarship partners and donors are the ones who make the program a continuing success.
