NATCA created the Sentinel of Safety Award as a way to honor aviation leaders outside NATCA who have displayed outstanding achievement in the advancement of aviation safety. On Oct. 2, 2014, at its Biennial Convention in Minneapolis, NATCA proudly renamed the award to honor Congressman Jim Oberstar, who was a tireless advocate for aviation, air traffic control, and NATCA during his tenure in Congress and as the Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
At the #NATCACFS 2022 Awards Luncheon today, NATCA President Rich Santa presented the award to the former Chief Operating Officer of the FAA's Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Teri Bristol.
