The National Association of Teachers of Singing has elected officers for the 2018-2020 term and will install the leadership team during the organization’s biennial business meeting on June 26 at the 55th National Conference in Las Vegas.
Newly elected officers include President-elect Carole Blankenship, Vice President for Membership Nancy Bos, and Secretary-Treasurer Jason Lester. Officers reelected for a second term are Vice President for Outreach Alison Feldt, Vice President for Auditions Diana Allan, and Vice President for Workshops Kristine Hurst-Wajszczuk.
Karen Brunssen was installed as president-elect in 2016 and will be installed as the organization’s president.
“Our organization is full of so many incredibly talented professionals,” NATS Executive Director Allen Henderson said. “This group represents the outstanding leadership, talent and dedication that has long been associated with NATS members. The staff at the NATS National Office is excited to serve with them over the next two years to help NATS continue its growth.”
We thank the active NATS members who participated in the online voting, which closed earlier this month.
