Time Of Butterflies are seeking individuals who will be interested in joining our board of directors. The final decision will be determined through an interview process.
To add order and process, every board should support the following positions, regardless of board size or type:
President- responsible for leading the board and facilitating meetings
Vice President- acts as the board president's understudy and second in command
Secretary- responsible for official communications with board member and recording meetings
Treasurer- oversees all matters related to the organization's finances, property, and budget
For these roles we are currently not seeking anyone but we are seeking individuals to join committees within the board. Our committees are, Programming/Clinical committee, Marketing committee, and Finance/Fundraising committee.
Since it's impossible to do a job well if you don't know what the job is, all boards must take the time to ensure that every board member fully understands what's expected and needed of them, and then hold all members accountable.
Basic Board Member Duties:
This starts with an understanding of the fundamental legal duties of each individual board member, which include:
- Duty of Care- Each board member has a legal responsibility to participate actively in making decisions on behalf of Time Of Butterflies and to exercise their best judgment while doing so.
- Duty of Loyalty- Each board member must put the interests of Time Of Butterflies before their personal and professional interests when acting on behalf of Time Of Butterflies in a decision-making capacity. Time Of Butterflies needs come first.
- Duty of Obedience- Board members bear the legal responsibility of ensuring that the organization complies with the applicable federal, state, and local laws and adheres to its mission.
But these are just the starting point, as boards have responsibilities that go far beyond these three legal duties. If you are interested we will schedule a meet and greet with you and discuss the next steps!

Mission Statement
Time Of Butterflies creates a supportive community that provides a healing space for women of color.
Description
Our story began when our founders, Giselle Bonilla and Kat Bonilla discovered firsthand, the lack of support and resources available for survivors of abuse who are women of color in Boston, MA, and for the first time they talked about their traumas with each other. Due to the lack of resources and services, they were left alone to heal and during that process they were able to discover the power of healing within a community. Through the exchange of stories and community support, a path for healing was created for themselves and for other women of color.
Our vision is to counter the experience of trauma with a sensitive and competent multidisciplinary response. We focus on community building, by providing a space for women to come together. We believe that the best healing happens within a community, and our goal is to provide resources, workshops and events to help improve the quality of life of women affected by trauma.
Inspired by the story of the Mirabal sisters, who worked with many communities in the Dominican Republic to stand up to their oppressor, they named Time Of Butterflies after their story and what it represented. Time of Butterflies represents healing and change through the power of community.
