| Abstract: | The article focuses on the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and its integrated multilevel structure that supports singing voice professionals through chapters, regions, and national activities. It highlights the upcoming 2026 biennial national conference in San Antonio, which will feature expanded programming, increased performance opportunities, and the new Barbara Hill Moore Emerging Teaching Artist Award. Chapters serve as foundational entry points fostering local engagement and leadership development, while regions provide broader professional development and access, including a distinct Canadian region to enhance North American participation. Governance and operations have transitioned to a remote model with leadership succession aligned to national events, and NATS’s publications maintain transparency and scholarly continuity.
