To enhance the delivery of FSA programs through facilitation of communication and interaction between FSA field level employees and FSA senior level management.
National Association of Credit Specialists of the Farm Service Agency (NACS-FSA) and previously the National Association of County Supervisors (NACS) were created by management level employees in USDA involved in making and servicing loans. Although our targets have changed over the years from making and servicing rural housing loans, farm loans, rural rental housing to just agricultural loans, our members have remained committed to improving service to our customer – rural residents and farmers and ranchers.
The USDA Reorganization Act of 1994 brought major changes to USDA and the disbanding of Farmers Home Administration (FmHA). NACS was transformed also into NACS-FSA and NACS-RD. These two organizations have gone their own way and created professional organizations based on Chapter 251 of Federal Personnel Regulations (5 CFR Part 251).
NACS-FSA has taken a pro-active and positive approach to legislation which affects our customers. We have created and maintain interactions with the Agricultural Committees of both the Senate and House of Representatives. This has provided many opportunities to improve service to Farm Service Agency customers.
Our mission, indeed our endowment for members in the future, is to leave a legacy of what we have learned and experienced through the years.
