National Women in Ag. Association
National Women In Agriculture Association (NWIAA) was founded and established February 2008, by Ms. Tammy Gray-Steele, who is the Executive Director. The organization is headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK. NWIAA is an agriculture outreach, fueled by sisterhood and diversity. NWIAA believes rural minority women have been often neglected; the lack of resources has stagnated rural development. NWIAA is the first minority woman owned and operated organization that provides innovative outreach education that attracts and sustains current and future generations with its innovative, spiritual and USDA certified education techniques. The NWIAA Mississippi Chapter was established July 2011. The NWIAA Alabama Chapter was established August 2011.

NWIAA's Main Objectives
- To develop locally grown food security systems in underserved communities (food deserts).
- Ensure that future generations will have opportunities and are respected as experts and professionals in the industries of agriculture/farming through USDA programs.
- Help to increase the number of minority participants in the agriculture/farming industry.
- To promote character, health and income from the ground up!
Great things are achieved when adequate resources are coupled with energy, initiative and perseverance of women in rural and urban communities.
Ms. Steele’s passion to provide the next generation in rural and urban, underserved communities throughout the United States of America, has attracted local and national attention. Other states including Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida, will be established in 2012
The integration of ideas and strategies gained in corporate America with the abilities and potential of women in rural and urban communities, will significantly impact essential growth, by assisting through sustainable agricultural development and equitable allocation of resources.
