In fall of 2020, NATS selected 10 Black composers to participate in its new Mentoring Program for composers
In October of 2020, the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) announced and began its inaugural season of the NATS Mentoring Program for Composers.
The new program was designed to encourage the creation and performance of new works by pairing a celebrated art song composer with an emerging and early career art song composer. For this first year, NATS reserved the program for composers from underrepresented groups, with a special emphasis on Black composers. Together, composers Tom Cipullo and Lori Laitman are overseeing the program, and NATS is happy to provide an update and share how the program is progressing so far.

Hitrans, the regional transport partnership for the Highlands and Islands, wants more funding from the Scottish Government to be targeted on sustaining rural and island bus services. It believes lessons can be learned from the Covid crisis to tailor future services more closely to the needs of local areas, with major input from community transport groups.
