Vision

The vision of National Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow is to be the leading collegiate organization in developing and strengthening agricultural communication students through professional growth opportunities and educational programs.

Mission

The Mission of National ACT is to build relationships among agricultural communication professionals and college students and faculty, to provide professional and academic development for members and to promote agriculture through communications efforts.

Any college or university having students interested in communication for agriculture would benefit from having an active ACT chapter.

Dues are $15 per member (undergraduate and graduate students) $17 per associate member (agricultural communications professionals, including advisers) and $20 per chapter.

Dues need to be received by October 31st  of each year. Chapter dues of $20 per chapter which are not received by October 31st will be charged a $100 additional fine, totaling a chapter membership cost of $120. Individual member dues are considered rolling  througout the entire year.

For information about ACT, send a request to:

To establish a chapter, a letter requesting affiliation with the national organization and a copy of the proposed local constitution any by-laws must be submitted to the national secretary for review by the national executive committee. Chapter dues and individual dues for at least 10 members must be paid by the designated deadline each year.
