The Current FCN Board of Directors
We need more dediated bodies AND diversity! There’s a LOT to do.
Gerry Nelms – Chairman
66 Years old/came out 2021
Originally from Smyrna, GA I moved to the Savannah area at the end of the summer of 2018. I live in the outskirts of Savannah with my Welsh Corgi named MacKenna (Mac for short). I have managed companies in my past, owned my own businesses and have now returned to teaching high school. I was married for 42 years and finally realized that I had to be true to myself. I have one grown son that is married to my wonderful daughter-in-law and they have two perfect grandchildren and one granddog. My other son has a wonderful partner and they have two granddogs.
Mick Fossett – Secretary
45 years old/came out 2000
Originally from Douglas, Coffee County Georgia, Nick moved to Savannah three years ago after changing careers and to be closer to my family. For about 15 years I was a family therapist working for various non-profit agencies, counseling centers in Macon and Atlanta Ga and Eugene and Portland Oregon. I have worked in logistics for the past few years. I came out in college at Valdosta State University once I realized many of my friends were affirming. In my personal time I enjoy, cooking, thrift store shopping, riding bike trails and being around friends.
Tim Blair Treasurer
39 Years old/ never had to come out 🙂
Originally from Troy, Alabama, Tim Blair has called Savannah his home since 2006. Over the years, Tim has become an integral part of Savannah’s vibrant community, particularly through his dedicated service on the Board of Directors for Savannah Pride from 2006 to 2010.
His passion for community and connection extends beyond his personal life and into his work, where he eagerly looks forward to his role as Treasurer, Tim is driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact and is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.
