Journal of NACAA Latest Volume Now Available



Dear NACAA Members,

Volume 12, Issue 1, of the Journal of the National Association of County Agricultural Agents is now available online at: https://www.nacaa.com/journal/ or by clicking the article links below. Congratulations to the authors of the twenty-one papers published in this issue!

The next deadline for submitting a manuscript for the December issue of the Journal is September 15 th . New or potential authors who will be attending the AM/PIC in Fort Wayne should plan to attend the workshop on how to get published in the Journal of NACAA. We are also recruiting members to serve as peer reviewers.

My three-year term as editor of the Journal of NACAA ends in September. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the authors and reviewers I have had the opportunity to work with during my term. We are very pleased that Don Llewellyn of Washington State University will be serving as the new editor with the December issue.

NACAA AM/PIC Registration Now Open


PLEASE READ THIS EMAIL – The Process has changed a bit.
Early bird registration is June 1 – July 15, 2019.
July 16 – August 15: Registration fees increase $100/person
August 16 th – Online registration will be discontinued, and all registrations will take place on-site at the Grand Wayne Convention Center.

Due to credit card security issues over the internet – we have had to modify our AM/PIC registration process by having the Hotel Reservation and AM/PIC Registration – as two separate functions. 

Requesting a Room:  For those of you who need to reserve a hotel room thru NACAA (we handle making the reservation for you as the hotels won’t accept direct reservations) – you will need to make your lodging request at:  https://okzyhxiuzf.formstack.com/forms/2019nacaalodging
Once you submit your request – you will receive an email hotel code that you will need to copy/paste into the main registration found at:  https://okzyhxiuzf.formstack.com/forms/2019ampic

If you are an Active/Life/Spouse/Guest/Sons & Daughters and your name will be listed on someone else’s room with the same arrival/departures….YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE A SEPARATE reservation You may proceed directly to the main registration at:   https://okzyhxiuzf.formstack.com/forms/2019ampic

If you are sharing a room with another member and have different arrival/departure dates than your roommate – go ahead and enter a separate reservation and we will merge the two together before submitting to the hotel.

FACILITIES FEE: For those of you who haven’t attended an AM/PIC before or are unaware of our Facilities Fee policy – ALL ACTIVE & LIFE MEMBERS must stay in one of the 3 contracted hotels (for a minimum of 1 night), or there is a $250 facilities fee for staying offsite.  NACAA has contracted for these hotel rooms and is financially obligated to fill our blocks, or we have to pay for the rooms – if they remain unsold. THERE IS NO FACILITIES FEE…IF YOU STAY AT ONE OF 3 CONTRACTED HOTELS.

The two sites once again are: (both of these links are also on the homepage at www.nacaa.com)
