LeadAR
Class 13 Introductions

John Rima
Hot Springs - Garland County

John is an instructor at National Park Community College and director of their Health Education, Physical Education, Recreation and Wellness Program. He schedules 65-70 classes each year for the program, recruits staff, and develops and teaches courses in related subjects.

John holds a B.S. in education from the University of Central Arkansas in health education, physical education and recreation and a M.S.E. in education from Henderson State University. He has been active in the Ouachita Area Council of the Boy Scouts, the United States Coast Guard Auxillary, and the Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce.

John believes Arkansas has what it takes to rise from the bottom of the ladder. He says "All we need is the vision and a road map." He and his wife, Vicki (a graduate of LeadAR Class 11), have four grown children.
