Board of Directors
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
President--Isaac Milleson
With years of experience in business development and organizational leadership, Isaac is known for turning vision into action and ideas into impact. A natural connector, he thrives on bringing people together to collaborate, innovate, and create meaningful change in the Toledo community. As President of the Board for Butterflies 15, he channels that same passion for people into fostering growth, creativity, and compassion—helping to advance the organization’s mission of hope and healing through shared purpose.
That drive also defines his work with Aflac, where since 2018 he has helped individuals and businesses prepare for the financial impact of medical events. Growing up in Clyde, Ohio during “The Cancer Cluster,” Isaac saw firsthand how illness can devastate families and communities. Those early experiences shaped his commitment to protecting others and inspired his belief in Tina’s vision for Butterflies 15—a belief that through connection, generosity, and action, we can all help lift one another toward something better.
Vice President--Valerie Vetter
Moving to Toledo 12 years ago, Valerie saw this as a stop gap to a different destination but somewhere, early on, she fell in love with Toledo. Easily, its resurgence and its melting pot of gorgeous people and
vibrancy had a grasp on her. She is now one of Toledo’s strongest advocates and calls the 419 her home.
Valerie volunteers with numerous organizations locally, be it on boards and/or committees that
represent a multitude of services areas in Lucas County.
Valerie lives in Sylvania with her son Wil and his guinea pig, Snowball. She tries to maintain her plant babies, send prayers.
