The inaugural Board of Trustees met for the first time this morning with the Bishop, the Chair of the Board of Trustees, at the Offices of the Diocese. The diocese was recently incorporated after a unanimous vote at the 2018 Diocesan Convention to move forward. The board, which governs the corporation, will have sole responsibility for administration of the business and financial affairs of the diocese.
