Board Of Directors

Shauna Smith, Chair

Shauna has been a programmer on Radio Boise since 2023, as the co-host of the public affairs show, Communication Matters. She and her husband, Brian, a mental health counselor, talk about all things communication and feelings while giving each other a load of grief on the air. She has been a speech-language pathologist since 2005, dedicated to working with adults with cognitive and communication differences. Since 2024, she has a part-time private practice, and for fourteen years prior was a full-time Clinical Professor and Clinic Director at Idaho State University in the speech-language pathology graduate program. In 2025, she also became the Executive Director for the Idaho Counseling Association. Shauna has been an Idahoan her entire life and believes in giving back to ensure that everyone in the community has a voice, literally and figuratively. Radio Boise, a voice for all in the community, has been the perfect fit as a haven of community advocacy. As a member of the board, she hopes to help the station continue to grow and be a voice for all, known by all, and heard by all. Besides enjoying all things Radio Boise, Shauna also enjoys cooking, camping, writing, wine tasting, and having adventures with Brian and their little boy.

David Stuesse, Vice Chair

I am a long time listener and supporter of Radio Boise. I enjoy the independent programming love hearing new music. I feel that the station has given me a lot of joy. I decided to join the board to give back to KRBX and to meet interesting people. I feel that independent media is more important than ever. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, cycling and Nordic skiing. In the time left over I am a cardiac surgeon.

Rob Lockward, Treasurer

Rob grew up in the swamps of Florida before beginning his legal career in Alaska where he also co-hosted a radio show on AM community radio. Rob has had a lifetime passion for music and community and has been thrilled to serve on the Radio Boise board.

Hilary Rayhill, Secretary

Boise Community Radio has been a long time companion in the Rayhill household. From the days before the airwaves Radio Boise has been a part of her life. As the Radio community has grown and her children worked their way toward independence Hilary now has the time to be able to give back what the radio station has given to her. Before joining the board at KRBX Hilary was a river guide on the Middle Fork of the Salmon river, a pediatric intensive care nurse and now a school nurse at Garfield Elementary, not to mention raising two kids with her wonderful husband. Hilary hopes to use this opportunity to help foster community and great music at Boise Community Radio.

Sarah Faires

I grew up in a small town in central Idaho, where community meant everything—and it still does today. As a single mom of two amazing special needs kids and a cancer survivor, I’ve learned that strength is found in connection, compassion, and never giving up. Outside of my work as a real estate broker and coach, I’m passionate about giving back. Whether it’s serving on the board of this nonprofit, advocating for families, or simply sharing encouragement, I believe in lifting others through both challenges and triumphs. When I’m not working or volunteering, you’ll likely find me whitewater rafting, enjoying live music, or simply soaking up the small joys that make life extraordinary.

Shevawn Bell

Shevawn has been a volunteer programmer at Radio Boise since 2024, hosting This n That every Wednesday from 5-7pm. Her passion began with college radio and later through Reno’s first and only local community radio station, where she hosted Vinyl Hive. She’s excited to join the Radio Boise board and help the station continue to uplift community voices and ensure Radio Boise remains a strong, independent voice for the Treasure Valley and beyond. Shevawn has led communications, digital marketing, and grassroots advocacy for conservation organizations both big and small for well over a decade. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and English and a master’s degree in Journalism from the University of Nevada, Reno, with an emphasis on new media innovation. Off air, you can find Shevawn spending time with her husband and son, getting outside, reading, collecting vinyl, and catching live music whenever humanly possible.

Taylor Baldwin

Taylor is a lifelong music lover who believes music has a unique way of bringing people together and building community. As a board member of Radio Boise, Taylor is excited to support a station that celebrates independent music, creativity, and shared listening experiences that connect people across the Treasure Valley. Taylor is married to his wife, Hailey, and together they’re raising their 3-year-old son, Will. Outside of Radio Boise, Taylor enjoys spending time outdoors—especially fly fishing—and finds a lot of inspiration and balance in nature.

Carmen House

I’ve served in leadership roles on boards and committees and bring a collaborative, thoughtful approach to everything I do.
