ODA Works with Ag Departments at NASDA Convention

The 100^th annual meeting of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture is this week in Lincoln, Neb.

Director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture Katy Coba said these meetings provide critical connections and allows them to shape their message.

“We are so in sync with the rest of the state departments of agriculture on these key issues and we can rely on NASDA and NASDA staff to carry that message– whether it’s to congressional members or federal partners. NASDA is very important for Oregon.”

The convention will also include the annual Honor Awards Program where Department of Ag employees are celebrated for their service, communication and administration to their state.

The Washington State Department of Agriculture’s Hector Castro is this year’s recipient of Honor Award for Communications.
