A slate of officers nominated to serve on the 2011 Nashville Singers, Inc. board of directors will be presented for election by the general membership. Nominations from the floor are permitted but no nominations should be made without prior consultation and approval from the nominee. In addition, the membership will be asked to consider some modifications to our governance and management structure to better position the organization for success in the coming years.
