Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much ~ Helen Keller

Governance

timeBanking/Lamoni is governed by a "committee of the whole" with decisions made at regularly scheduled meetings by those in attendance. This form of governance will continue until membership reaches a point where it is necessary to have representative leadership.

In the beginning, many community members worked to establish timeBanking/Lamoni as a fully functioning organization. This included attending workshops and presentations from time banking Des Moines members, researching national organizations, studying time banking management principles and policies, presentations to the community, and recruiting.

The following individuals were charter members in the formation of timeBanking/Lamoni :
