Board of Trustees

The Aims Community College District is governed by a five-member Board of Trustees. Each trustee is elected to a four-year term by voters in the college’s taxing district. This includes all of Weld County, plus small portions of Adams, Larimer, Logan and Morgan counties and the city and county of Broomfield. 

The Board is composed of one member from each of the five districts. Together with the College CEO/President, these elected individuals monitor and oversee the purpose, mission, vision and policies of the College.
