Board of Trustees 2019

The AIM USA staff works under the direction of a Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is composed of nine members who represent male and female, Cistercian and Benedictine monasteries. The prioress or abbot of the hosting monastery is a non-voting board member as is the AIM USA executive director. 

The Board’s 2019 annual meeting was held at Mount Saint Benedict Monastery Erie, PA on October 9.  Exciting new frontiers were forged at this meeting in having one of its members in Ecuador participate via Zoom technology, opening new horizons and bridging walls and oceans that divide.
