We welcome you to read the NATA Mission, Vision, Living Values and Strategic Priorities below. The NATA Board approved the Living Values and the Strategic Priorities in February, 2016 and the Mission and Vision in September, 2016. The Mission reflects our purpose as an organization and who we are today. It is specific to NATA and we’ll continue our work to ensure it is realized. The Vision is an aspirational statement about the world in which we are a significant player. While it is not specific to NATA, we play a critical role in realizing the overall vision. NATA is committed to making the Strategic Priorities part of the on-going work of NATA.

We invite you to print a copy of the NATA Living Values. We suggest that every NATA member print a copy and frame it for your office.
