This space is for you, the ATO employee. Whether new to the agency or a long time veteran, your participation drives this collaborative effort to improve communications within our organization.

The Leading Edge for New Hires has been deployed to address a variety of common issues involving all ATO employees. Initially focusing on our newest employees and the new hire initiative taking shape in our organization, our intention is to include all phases of employment. You will find that your comments and continued dialogue will immediately benefit the direction our blog takes. Most importantly, your unique experiences and varied backgrounds will help coworkers navigate through their chosen career fields in the FAA.

In addition to our New Hire category, you can expect a healthy dose of Guest Contributors to our site offering valuable leadership advice from the field. We also welcome visitors from all lines of business to comment and add much needed diversity to our site. We hope you will find answers to your important transitional questions and in doing so also help others. Other topics will include employee development, electronic media, governmental childcare facilities, facility and geographical data, even the best restaurants to visit. This is truly an interactive opportunity to make a difference in the men and women that will become our next generation of aerospace professionals.

Consider this blog as an invitation to shape the future of the FAA and your ATO. Thank you for stopping by...
