National Association of Institutional Agribusiness



All About Us


National Association of Institutional Agribusiness (NAIA) members hold full-time positions in institutional agricultural and/or food industries operations. We all strive for the same goals, we are here to serve each other, and we need people like you involved.


We are indebted to our founding fathers who believed that “much good could be derived from a meeting of all men in charge of state farm operations” and thus held the first national conference of state institutional farming professionals, in November 1952.

Since its inception, NAIA has been meeting annually all around our nation. NAIA meetings, workshops, and facility tours provide an excellent forum for the exchange of useful ideas. NAIA members not only share solutions to problems for the betterment of their institution’s programs, but they also are interested in the advancement of the individual as a professional.


As a member of NAIA, you will receive our bi-annual newsletter, you can attend the annual conference, and you will receive a copy of the membership directory. We are certain your contact with this organization and participation in its programs will benefit you personally and professionally in your future endeavors.
