Natash Singh has been named interim president and CEO of Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium following the announcement of Valerie Nurr’araluk Davidson stepping down from the position.
“Three years ago, Valerie was brought in to support the transition of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium out of a leadership crisis. She brought stability and set the organization on a bright path to achieve our strategic goals,” ANTHC Board Chair Kimberley Strong said in a statement announcing the changes. “Valerie supported the remarkable transformation of the organization, attracted new talent to join our workforce, and made meaningful improvements, such as investing in the Alaska Native Medical Center’s Emergency Department, necessary to sustain this progress. We thank Valerie for her service to ANTHC and the people that we serve during her three-year commitment. The board has full confidence in Natasha’s ability to lead the organization during this transition.”
Singh is a Stevens Village Tribal citizen. For the past two years, she worked alongside Davidson in the organization’s operations and efforts to implement ANTHC’s strategic priorities. Prior to working at ANTHC, Sing most recently served as general counsel for Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) for more than ten years. During her tenure at TCC, she was part of the team that oversaw the joint venture to build and staff the Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center in Fairbanks, and the construction of sub-regional and village clinics. Singh represents the Alaska Tribes as the co-lead negotiator for the Alaska Tribal Health Compact and is a graduate of the University of Washington School of Law and Dartmouth College.
