The Wyoming Vocational Agricultural Teachers Association (WVATA) is the professional organization for teachers of agriculture education. The WVATA is affiliated with the National Association of Agriculture Educators (NAAE).

The WVATA conducts a variety of activities designed to improve the profession of agricultural education. Many of the improvements made in the agricultural education program in Wyoming have been sponsored and advocated by the WVATA.

The WVATA sponsors Summer Conference in June that provides information on curricular and administrative topics. They also hold a Winter Conference in December, in conjunction with the Made for Excellence Conference.

The mission of the NAAE is to advance agricultural education and promote the professional interests and growth of agriculture teachers. NAAE seeks to recruit and prepare students who have a desire to teach agriculture. The organization is dedicated to developing professional pride, to nourishing a spirit of unity among classroom teachers and to recognizing members for conducting outstanding programs. It monitors governmental affairs affecting agricultural education and assists in the development of priorities and strategies to effect federal legislation and appropriations.
