In 1972, what began as a small group of committed vocational administrators grew into what we know today, as the Washington Association of Career and Technical Administrators - WACTA.

The primary purpose of the WACTA is to provide general direction to the administrators of the state by conveying current, pertinent, information on, or related to, career and technical education. The WACTA Executive Board and Executive Committee shall serve as the governing bodies of this association; shall oversee and execute the business and financial responsibilities with full transparency; shall hold the best interest of the membership as its highest priority, and shall assist in developing and implementing the mission and vision of the association. All WACTA members shall serve to support the mission and vision of the association and all career and technical education initiatives in the best interest of the students of the State of Washington.
