Meet your 2026-2027 Board of Directors

---

Active in multiple LGBTQ+ and community resource groups through his employer, Shawn is dedicated to outreach, events, and creating environments where people feel supported and seen.

Because of Sean's past experience in Memphis, he was on the ground level of what is now known as Hot Springs LGBTQ+ Community Network

He and his husband Bob are just a couple of the building blocks and why we are where we are today and growing

Being Secretary for the Network is not only an honor but an ongoing commitment to the community to make sure their voices are heard weather people like it or not. Usually the motivator in the room but you always leave with a smile

Ka'imi has lived in Hawaii for over 30+ years before coming back to Arkansas where was born. He brought back with him degrees in Nursing, Teaching, and Hospital Administration. His great love for 

Hawiian Language is something he still treasures today

Lisa is truly excited to be our Communications Director, and vows to make strides to help everyone feel seen, heard, and respected

Definitely one with a can-do attitude and sweet to boot

Tim has lived in the Hot Springs Cummunity most of his life and has seen lots of positive change.  That being said, outside influences make him want to see more people accomplish what their are hearts are set upon doing, and being on the board he hopes he can see those goals come true

Scott is our 

facilitator for the Men's Discussion Group and with it brings people together with warmth and humor.  A creative spirit indeed and always brings that into our meetings as well

What can we not say about our leader "Commander" Pat. She was the one who brazenly lit the torch for what we all have before us. A place to feel welcome, wanted, and yes loved.  The OG! 

Madam President - Emerita
