Who Is NACS?
Founded in 1973, today NACS still holds true to its founding principles. The National Association of Credit Specialists is a professional organization of USDA-Farm Service Agency employees working to support rural America. Our mission is to expand, improve and expedite USDA services, providing better delivery of Farm Loan Programs to farmers and ranchers around the United States. We help bridge the gap between policy makers in Congress and our Agency, with our members providing the ideas and resolutions that help craft improved loan delivery throughout the country.
NACS promotes social, economic, professional and vocational skills, along with the civic and personal welfare of all USDA-FSA employees.
We are governed by a member-elected board, chosen annually at our national convention.
Current priorities include:
