We recognize the need for interactive discussion surrounding the discrimination and injustice in our field, especially as we continue to navigate challenges of COVID-19. The issues surrounding accessibility, inclusion, and equity demand our attention and action more than ever.
As a first step in this continued journey, we are offering "Table for More": a 4-part Interactive Webinar Series, presented by G. Phillip Shoultz, III of VocalEssence (Minneapolis) and co-hosted by NATS Boston, Boston Singers' Resource, and the Greater Boston Choral Consortium.
We thank you for your input in our recent survey, which has helped guide us in planning. Below, you will find the specific dates, times, and content for each session.

The series is free and open to all. We highly encourage you to commit to attending the whole series, as the presentations and relationships will build on each other. Each session will feature 45 to 60 minutes of keynote presentation, followed by a time for Q&A | small break-out rooms for discussion, and conclude with room for guided conversation. The fourth installment will bring it all together, guiding participants in developing an action plan for the next year.
We welcome you to join us however you are able. For those of you who are unable to attend, you will still have the opportunity to view each keynote presentation, which will be recorded and highlighted on our social media. You do not need to register to access the archived recordings.
Here is the link to the Registration Form. After you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link information.
Thank you very much for all that you do for our community, and know that we look forward to having these important conversations with you. If you have any questions or concerns you’d like to share, please feel free to email Liz Eschen at vicepresident@natsboston.org.
