National Women in Ag. Association
National Women in Ag. Association was established in February 2008 and is Headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK. NWIAA is a diverse agriculture outreach sisterhood organization founded by Ms. Tammy Steele, Executive Director. Ms. Steele’s passion to provide the “Best for the Less” in rural and urban underserved communities throughout the United States has attracted local as well as national attention. Membership is active and continues to grow with the addition of chapters in other states. NWIAA invites youth ages 6 to 18 to participate in its "Bumble Bees and Butterflies program". In addition, NWIAA is proud to offer farmers ages 16 to 35 the opportunity to join and participate in the "Hip Hop Farmers Program". Both programs provide hands-on educational experiences that include: Health, community gardening, Greenhouse Production, farmers markets and Corporate Agribusiness Business Skills.
National Women In Ag. Association’s mission is to empower, educate, assist and provide opportunities to underserved citizens of all ages; with an emphasis on health and agriculture. The following are NWIAA’s main objectives:
Our Mission
Our History
Our Goal
To develop a rural sustainable agriculture system for the socially disadvantaged. National Women in Ag. Association believes that often rural minority women have been neglected and the lack of resources has stagnated rural development. We feel strongly that if resources were made available with the energy and perseverance of rural women great things will be achieved. True sustainable rural development can only be achieved when there is an equitable allocation of resources provided. When this is done, rural communities will be able to make significant contributions to our society and move the country toward a true sustainable future.
NWIAA's motto and pledge to God is always the BEST FOR THE LESS!
