Why Get involved with NWIAA?
What's in it for you?
There are many opportunities to be involved in at NWIAA. One of the most important is to be a Chairwoman/Chairman of your own chapter. As a Chairwoman/Chairman , you will gather people of like minds from your community or region and work towards our vision by developing a project that is unique to your area, and empowering other women develop the skills they need to grow their own food, and perhaps even begin their own agri-business.
You will work with local schools, encouraging them to have school gardens, perhaps develop community gardens that will help supply the local food pantries with fresh produce, the possibilities are limitless!
One of the benefits of becoming a chairperson of your own chapter is that you get to work under our 501(c)3 non-profit tax exemption status umbrella. This will save you time, hundreds of dollars, and allow you to begin accepting donations and gifts right away!
A second benefit is that you'll have the support of our 16 plus years of national agriculture community outreach and networking, our professional experience, our support services and a stellar reputation with various large partnerships. This includes our large USDA partnership, the second largest agency of the United States government. The USDA is a great partner to have!
Being under NWIAA’s organizational umbrella and having access to its partnership and development relationships enables you to apply for and receive grants and foundation funding; unlike any individual farmer can ever receive on their own. This will help your Chapter to literally help save lives, through growing healthy foods, growing incomes, and helping create sustainable businesses.
Finally, You’re connected to a sisterhood of business agriculture women that advocate for equal rights as for women and at-risk-youth. As a Chairwoman/Chairman in your state you will be a partner with the NWIAA’s historical movement to bring equal opportunities to grow and market fresh food in underserved communities for ALL people!
