NACTA Needs Your Feedback!
The North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture has seen many changes, both internally and externally, in the past several years. In an effort to help reflect our continuing metamorphosis, NACTA will be working through a visual rebranding with the goal to unveil these updates at the annual meeting in June 2022.
Since this association was built on the combined contributions and dedication of each and every one of our members over the past six and half decades, leadership felt it only fitting to reach out to those members for input on this exciting new update. That's where you come in! We want to know - what do you think represents NACTA? Is it a color? An image? A feeling? Is there a logo that is doing it right and you think we should see it? Let us know by giving your feedback here.
