Randall Umstead, installed as president-elect in 2024, will become president, and Alexis Davis-Hazell will serve as immediate past president.

“NATS benefits from the dedication and expertise of an exceptionally talented community of professionals," said Executive Director Allen Henderson. “I am confident these elected leaders will help guide the association with passion and integrity, and will serve with a strong commitment to fellow NATS members. Their leadership will be critical as NATS transitions to a new executive director in 2026. I look forward to supporting these individuals as we continue working toward fulfilling our vision — transforming lives through the power of singing.”
