A Note from the CCNATS President in light of the COVID-19 Crisis
We voice teachers are dedicated to so much more than singing, making music and art, and telling stories; we are dedicated to the growth and improvement of others and investing in society. This crisis is impacting our community with force, and I want to remind each of you in this uncertain time how important your contributions are to those you teach, your community, and to us, your friends and colleagues in CCNATS.
We encourage you to reach out to each other and to us if you need support. If you have ideas or need encouragement yourself in the days ahead, your CCNATS community is here for you. As always, if you have questions or concerns or thoughts on how CCNATS can support our community at this time, please email me at president@chicagonats.org
Most Sincerely,
Rebecca S. Schorsch
President, Chicago Chapter NATS
