Board Of Directors

Mark Shirrod, Chair

Born and raised on a farm in North Idaho’s Palouse country, Mark moved to Boise in 1976 to explore Idaho south of the Salmon River. After nearly 5 decades he is still in discovery mode, and Radio Boise and the Boise music scene are a major guiding force in that journey. Throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s you might have found him dancing the night away in places like Pengilly’s, The Bouquet, or Whisky River. Or bobbing along red-eyed to national acts at the fairgrounds (ugh!), The Big Easy, or The Pavilion. But it wasn’t until his wife Rebecca introduced him to Radio Boise that he began to recognize the connection between music and community. What was once merely a playful pastime has become a purposeful pursuit. He hopes to bring 40+ years of experience in business, sales and service to the Radio Boise Board and contribute to the station’s important role in the Treasure Valley. Specifically, he wants to help the station reach more listeners and be recognized as THE radio source for local independent music, public affairs and art. Besides music, Mark is interested in politics, cooking, golf, locally brewed beer, travel, and baseball.

Meaghan Lopez, Secretary

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.

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.

Hilary Rayhill

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.
