Dear CCE Agriculture Extension Professionals,
On behalf of the NYS Association of County Agricultural Agents (NYSACAA), we invite you to become a member or renew your membership for 2025. The attached membership form can be filled out and sent to me with your payment. Or you pay by credit card using the PayPal link on this page. Paying by credit card is preferred because it makes my work as a treasurer much easier and items don't get lost.
Why join NYSACAA? It is a group of your peers dedicated to helping agriculture educators improve their skills, celebrate their professional excellence and expand their knowledge base. We host professional gatherings and tours across the state. See our membership brochure below.
Full members also belong to the National Association (NACAA) and frequently participate in National Conferences. Extension professionals can present talks, posters, and apply for communications awards. Local tours and networking also abound and it is just plain fun! The benefits of membership in NACAA can be found at: https://www.nacaa.com/about/benefits.php.
We look forward to having you join us in 2025!
Sincerely,
Liz Higgins, NYSACAA Treasurer

Full members - Full NYSACAA/NACAA membership is for any exempt or non-exempt employee with extension responsibilities who prepares and conducts educational programs in agriculture or related fields. You are a member of both the state and national associations. Due to continuing impacts of COVID-19 on programming, we are offering returning full members an opportunity to pay their NYSACAA dues at a reduced rate of $65. If you can afford to pay the full rate of $100 you will help to sustain NYSACAA until we can get back to full programming.
Affiliate members $15 - Any non-exempt extension employee who assists with conducting educational programs or who performs diagnostic services in agriculture or a related field. This includes program aids, assistants, & technicians. Affiliate members have all the privileges of membership except for NACAA awards and professional improvement opportunities (they can attend NYSACAA educational programs).
