Leadership changes for LRCP

Little Rock Capital Pride Board President, David W. Quinn, has stepped down in order to pursue other personal and professional goals. David plans to remain active in the group and the board wishes him well in his future endeavors.

Following David’s resignation, the board of Little Rock Capital Pride has voted to name Board Secretary, Joe LaFountaine, its new leader. Joe is a native Arkansan that returned home this May, most recently from Atlanta, Georgia where he was a volunteer with Atlanta Pride Committee, which produces the third largest Pride festival in the United States. In October, Joe received a scholarship to represent LRCP at the InterPride World Conference in Portland, Maine. The conference provided workshops on many facets of Pride planning, entertainment and networking with over 200 Pride organizers representing over 50 Pride groups from across the world. With less than six months remaining until the third annual Capital Pride celebration, Joe asks the community for its support and assistance to help achieve the lofty goals the board has set.

Capital Pride will be held June 3rd, 2007, at the Little Rock River Market Amphitheatre and financial support and participation is very much needed for a successful event.
