Dr. Edgar S. Cahn, JD, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Law at the University of the District of Columbia and Founder of the international Time Banking movement, now spreading rapidly in 36 countries, will be in the Tampa Bay area to consult with local organizations about the proposed application of time banking as a means of driving job creation, increased resource flows, stronger community connections, and key life outcomes for groups such as elders, youth, vets, and people living with disabilities.
While in the Tampa Bay area, Dr. Cahn will be speaking at Hillsborough Community College’s 2014 Beyond Sustainability Conference, visiting Stetson University College of Law in Tampa to meet with administrators, staff and students and will be attending several Tampa Bay Time Bank events.
Attend the following events to learn how our new local currency—the Tampa Bay Time “Hour”—creates abundance from scarcity, making resources go further for public and private organizations by connecting untapped resources with unmet needs.
