A Not Quite Goodbye From Heather...
I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU!
As some of you may already know, for the past few months Ive been doing quite a bit of work helping to create our friendly bot Noni! Lately, this has been taking up more and more of my focus and it has become clear that Noni is not a temporary side project, but that she will need a huge amount of continuing work to become all that we're dreaming she'll be.
It's with mixed emotions that I write this. Group support has been my baby for a long, long time. I became community manager just as we initially launched group support, and I've watched it grow and evolve over the past three years. Im sad to say goodbye to it, but the time has come for me to move on and give another person the opportunity to ensure it is a wonderful place for everyone on 7 Cups. Group support needs a lot of dedicated time and attention, and with Noni calling my name, its not possible for me to give it all the love it deserves.
Right now, I'm going to be hopping over to join the product team where I will really focus on Noni and the work that needs doing there. It might be the end of me as group support CM, but it is a new beginning for group support as we find someone new to fill the role and you can, I'm sure, look forward to new leadership and exciting times ahead!
I am going to miss being part of the community team and all of the group support antics! It's been a fun and exciting journey. I want to give a huge shout out to the mod leaders, group support mentors/team leaders, discussion leaders, moderators, listeners, members and guests. Thank you for putting so much of yourselves into this and for all of your hard work. And an extra special wave to those of you who jumped in to lead special event discussions (thank you for your patience with my last minute questions!) and those who came to hang out in the Free Hugs room so many times! It's been an absolute pleasure to work with you all.
But it's not really goodbye. I'm still around and will be throughout this transition period. You can still reach out to me if you need help with anything, or just want to say hi. Whatever you want or need, dont hesitate to ask. Im still here and will continue to be a part of 7 Cups.
Onwards!
@heather we will miss you greatly! You have been an amazing member of the community team for nearly 3 years. Thank you for your service and dedication!
