President
Leah Evans
Hi, I'm Leah Evans, proud mother of four, and grandmother of 3. I'm passionate about the protection of our youth. Being a survivor of domestic violence as well as having personal experiences with child predators, the dangers of internet exposure, witnessing the severity of sex trafficking locally, and mass shootings in schools abroad all drew me to become involved with Fort Safety and its mission to protect children and strengthen families. For nearly 2 decades, I have passionately served my local community as a volunteer, philanthropist, youth mentor, and leader. As CEO of New Provizions Busines Solutions, LLC, I serve as a dedicated and passionate consultant for small businesses and coach for non-profit organizations. I've done dedicated work to raise millions in funding for causes including homelessness, food scarcity, youth empowerment, financial literacy, relational health, holistic wellness, domestic violence, youth empowerment, and COVID relief. It is a duty and honor to serve my community's most valuable assets: children and families.

Secretary
Shawn Rowland-Howell
With over 25 years of experience volunteering with youth, Shawn is deeply committed to the well-being of young people, particularly in the digital world. As the Secretary for Fort Safety, she plays a key role in supporting the organizations mission. Drawing from a diverse background of management, executive assisting, marketing and advocacy, I will share a wealth of knowledge and dedication to both the administrative and outreach efforts of Fort Safety. I will work along side the team to empower families and seniors with the resources they need to navigate securely our online world. In my free time, I enjoy reading, exploring other cultures and making memories with family and friends.
