The mission of the Long Beach Time Exchange is to build and strengthen relationships within the city of Long Beach by connecting people's unmet needs and untapped resources.

The goals of the Long Beach Time Exchange are to:

  • Connect people to services by making services available for time credits.
  • Connect people to people by cultivating reciprocity and interdependence amongst its members.
  • Connect people to value through the recognition that all people have something to give, including work that is often unpaid or undervalued.

We envision a city where:

  • Residents' assets - including their diverse backgrounds and experience - are recognized, valued, and nurtured.
  • It is easy for residents to connect to each other through networks rooted in respect and trust.
  • Residents share resources that both allow them to meet basic needs and to access their highest potential.
  • Residents are empowered to affect and create structures and processes that encourage the growth and well being of themselves and Long Beach as a whole.

Core Values of Time Banking:

  • Assets: Everyone is an asset. Each individual brings value to our community.
  • Redefining work: Work that is often overlooked and undervalued relative to the market economy is valuable. Activities like providing companionship, child and elder care, and civic participation are important.
  • Reciprocity: A one-way flow of resources is not sustainable. Helping works better as a two-way street.
  • Social networks/community: No one should be isolated. We are stronger and healthier when we are connected to each other.
  • Respect: We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives and strive to meet people where they are.

I am the founder of EAT Local CSRA, whose mission is to help people make and enjoy eating locally grown, organic food. Another big part of my life here in Augusta is working with Child Enrichment both as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate for Abused and Neglected Children) and with the Heroes Club, a part of Child Enrichment. I have two children ages 18 and 20 and our family moved from Maryland 11 years ago. Finally, I was born in Brooklyn, went to a math/science magnet high school, got my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, and then my PhD in Bioengineering specializing in hip and knee implant materials. When my kids were young, I trained to become a mediator and worked part-time in a community mediation center.
