San Diego NATS Commitment
Dear Chapter Members,
Our chapter board is committed to fostering an inclusive atmosphere of equity and unity, a safe and creative space for all teachers and students of all ethnicities and backgrounds and open dialogue with one another.
Racism and inequality have been ongoing social issues in our country for far too long. We are taking a closer look to see where we are supportive and encouraging to all members and non-members and where we can do better.
We are committed to creating more free events available to local city school music teachers and students. We are exploring hosting a Festival of Song, a non-competition event, that includes vocalists from all over San Diego.
We reach out to you, our chapter members, inviting you to have a conversation with us about how you see, think and feel about the San Diego NATS community. How does it support you as a professional and individual? What do you see working or not working?
What can we do, as an artistic organization, to help address racism and inequity in our society?
We, the board, are committed to answering this question with your help, and putting into action those answers.
We are committed to standing in solidarity with people of color who are marginalized through systemic racism.
We are committed in our support of singers in all communities.
In Music,
Stephanie Sabin, Chapter President
Jennifer Paterson, Chapter Treasurer
Jennifer D’Onofrio, Student Auditions Coordinator
Kimberly Moller, Social Media Chair
Nicolette Waterfield, Webmaster

Business Series: What is SEO anyways?

Recognizing that as private voice teachers, our NATS SD members are small business owners, we wanted to offer a series of videos focused on ways to maximize our marketing and attract new students.
