Do you know someone who fits this description?
We are looking for a business wizard who can guide as we develop our strategic plan. We are also looking for a real estate expert (perhaps an American living in Italy) who can guide our quest to purchase a property to be the first art monastery. We are looking for an events planning guru who could lead and advise our fundraising and programming events.
If you are just right, or someone you know is, please contact info@artmonastery.org.
