Membership

Membership in the National Watermelon Association is voluntary, and open to anyone who has an interest in the Watermelon Industry. Our priorities and responsibilities include effective communications with our members through the Vineline magazine and NWA web site, the search for solutions to grower disease & farming issues, legislative matters in Washington that effect our industry, promotions through our National Watermelon Queen program, and providing “VALUE” in all that we do for our members.

Input and participation from our members to our priorities and programs each year is a critical step to our success.  Membership in the Association is the first step toward sharing your experience and expertise, which will allow us to be successful for you.
