Today is a hard day. I just stepped down from being a Meetup Organizer of the Ministry of Testing - Boston. Life has been so busy the past year, I haven't even been able to host even a virtual Lunchtime Discussion.
I first encountered Conrad Holloman's Greater Boston QA and Testing Meetup when he hosted a Meetup event back in 2016 when Fitbit - Boston, where I was a budding automation developer. Before I knew it, I was organizing events, volunteering to be on discussion panels, and giving presentations to the group. When Conrad moved the Meetup under the Ministry of Testing banner at the end of that year, he encouraged me to take over as organizer.
As Meetup Organizer, I have had so much fun recruiting speakers such as Angie Jones, Seb Rose, Matt Wynne, Lisa Crispin, Moshe Milman, Eran Kinsbruner. Thank you so much, SmartBear and Mabl for always hosting us!
Everything came to a halt due to Covid. I tried switching to virtual Meetup events in 2022 for this group, but that came to a halt when my kiddo was diagnosed with ADHD + Autism. All of my time and energy from that time forward has went to my family, shuttling my son to new schools and doctor appointments, and it hasn't let up.
I have really enjoyed being a Meetup Organizer! It has been a thrilling ride!

Stepping down from being the Meetup Organizer of Ministry of Testing - Boston marks the end of an era, but also the beginning of new opportunities to explore passions and interests, such as diving into the intricate world of embroidery digitizing services. This transition period can be an excellent time to channel your organizational skills and attention to detail into creating or enhancing beautiful, embroidered designs. Whether it's for personal projects, contributing to community events, or even providing professional embroidery digitizing services to others, the skills honed during your time with the Ministry of Testing can undoubtedly enrich your next venture.
