Board of Directors ( voluntary)

BOD Description

Released Reentry is seeking new members for its Board of Directors!

This 501(c)(3) organization was founded in 2023 by a mental health therapist and substance use counselor who briefly experienced the carceral system in 1997. Since that time her personal, academic, and professional endeavors brought her to Florida where she met others in the region that recognized the significant reentry gap in the community. Since its inception, Released has utilized trauma-informed best practices to address the harms associated with the justice system, and focuses on using empowerment and compassion to shift the trajectory.

Our Board of Directors is in a place of transformation and growth as we establish roots in the community. We strive to recruit a handful of professionally diverse board members to guide us as we expand. Annual duties consist of the following:

• Quarterly meetings
• Mission oversight
• Financial health
• Support the Executive Director
• Sustainability
• Co-hosting semi-annual fundraisers 

No prior board experience is required, however we are searching for those who are curious and open to learning more about carceral systems and have professional connections to bring awareness to the challenges and stigma associated with incarceration. Released is a member of the Community Foundation, which provides Board of Directors training and support as needed.
