What is NATCON composed of?

• A. National Commander, the Region Commanders, and representatives from each squadron
• B. National Commander only
• C. Region Presidents only
• D. HQ staff only

Answer: (A)

NATCON is the national gathering that coordinates the organization across all regions and squadrons. It brings together the National Commander, who leads the organization at the national level; the Region Commanders, who represent their regions and connect regional needs to national policy; and a representative from each squadron, ensuring every unit has a voice. This mix allows national direction and policy to be shaped with input from across the country, while still reflecting the perspectives and interests of individual squadrons. If you only had the National Commander, you’d lose regional and squadron input; if you only had regional leaders, you’d miss national leadership and local representation; and if you only had HQ staff, you’d miss the active student leaders and delegates from each squadron.
