The purpose of this organization, the National Association of Credit Specialists of USDA, Farm Service Agency is one of the highest of ideals. The main objective is to establish a professional organization made up primarily of managers to expand, improve, and expedite the services of Farm Service Agency to rural America.
We want to promote the social, economic, professional, and vocational skills, civic and personal welfare of all USDA Farm Service Agency employees to:
- Ensure equal status and privileges with other federal and non-federal employees.
- Improve morale and efficiency by giving suitable recognition both to individual employees and to USDA Farm Service Agency field offices whose performances are outstanding.
- Collect and disseminate information relating to the above and to use such information for the general good without favoritism, bias, or prejudice.
Our organization is designed to look at the way we do business and make suggestions along with solutions for improvement of our agency and program delivery. The resolution process is critical to our goal of improving the delivery of our programs. It is through this process that mutual respect is recognized when we consult with the National Office in Washington, D.C.
We will strive to improve our working conditions, provide adequate staffing for our offices, obtain better equipment and technology, and to establish a consultative relationship at policy making levels to bridge the gap between policy makers and field employees. We cannot be effective in these areas unless we speak from a position of strength. Strength comes from numbers. We need the support of every field employee who is involved in the credit delivery system. We need some of your time, encouragement, and a little of your money. This organization will not be effective unless you are behind it 100%. We solicit your support and encourage your active participation in either attending your Zone Meetings, National Convention, or serving on a special task force or committee to represent members of the National Association of Credit Specialists.
