Membership
Why Join NCATA?
You are a professional. This is THE professional organization for agriculture teachers in the state of North Carolina.
NCATA cannot function without its members. All agriculture teachers reap many of the benefits of NCATA (Improved funding, twelve-month employment, etc.), but NCATA still needs its members to help the organization continue to support agriculture education in this state and nation.
Representation in the legislative process at the state level to support you as an agriculture educator.
Membership in the National Association of Agriculture Educators and all of the benefits associated with it!
Early access to NC FFA Camp Registration. If your agriculture education program has 100% NCATA Membership by the assigned deadline each year, your program will register early for NC FFA Camp at White Lake.
Awards and scholarships are only available to NCATA Members.
Professional Development for NCATA Members!
