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.

Meaghan Lopez, Treasurer

Meaghan (they/them) enjoys a warm summer day in the sun and a toasty fire to warm up next to in the winter. They’ve been a resident of the Treasure Valley for 22 years and enjoy living on the Boise Bench with their husband. Working in the service industry here in Boise for the last 7+ years was invaluable and truly shaped who they are today. Graduating from Boise State in 2019, they earned their Bachelors of Science in Sociology with an emphasis on Ethnic Studies and a certificate in Elementary Spanish. They first became involved with community work and organizing through their internship and volunteering with Immigrant Justice Idaho, a local non-profit that provides free or low cost legal aid to immigrants throughout all of Idaho. Their education at Boise State helped start their passion for social justice, but taking an active role in community organizing work solidified their commitment to it. They’ve gained a deep respect for the critical role that media, and specifically music and community-led radio programs, play in our collective growth and prosperity.

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.

Daniel Glynn

Daniel began his passion for music at an early age, dividing his time between studies and playing in a Boise-based alternative rock band. With no recording contract in one hand, but a law degree obtained from Gonzaga University School of Law in the other, Daniel entered the practice of law in 1995, first as a clerk to the Idaho Supreme Court and then in private practice. Daniel is an attorney at the Boise, Idaho, law firm of Jones Williams Fuhrman Gourley P.A, with a specialized practice in complex commercial litigation, construction, employment law and entertainment law. As a complement to his law practice, Daniel still maintains his passion for music through his volunteer work at Radio Boise, by testing the foundations of his home (and his neighbors’ patience) with his bass guitar, and by spinning records as the host of Riff Häven on Tuesday nights from 9 to 11 pm.

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.

David Stuesse

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.

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.
