Movin' on down the road

  • 1.  Movin' on down the road

    Posted 03-26-2026 20:49

    After 25 years as a MAS90/Sage 100 client, and a member of 90Minds for something close to 20 years, I've decided now is the time to move on to a new phase of life (I'm trying not to call it Retirement!).  March 31 is my last day, and I want to let you know that being a member of 90Minds has been hugely important for me.  I've attended all but 2 MOTM conferences, which served as the professional highlight of each year for me.  My greatest pleasure was connecting face to face with so many of you that I've known through the years.  I've gratefully received more than I've given and I'll miss being a part of this incredible community.  I wish you all the best and maybe I'll run into you relaxing on a beach somewhere.  Cheers!

    Congratulations Barbara! You were one of the first people I met at Meeting of the Minds and set the tone for how friendly and helpful the members of this group are (and should be). I have another 20 years to go, but hope to live your example. Enjoy your journey!

    Barbara - enjoy our new phase.

    I always enjoyed either talking to you, reading your informative posts or attending a session that you were speaking at. Hard to believe that it's been 25 years. And even more amazing that this MAS 90 / Sage 100 product has been the center of most of our careers.

    Thank you and best wishes!!

    Congratulations! New chapters are always scary -- and wonderful. 

    You are a long-time, active member of 90 Minds. So, I think your voice and reflections on the experience could help show others how valuable the experience can be. Would you be willing to be interviewed about this by Amber or me so we can use the interview as part of the Membership Committee's efforts to improve member engagement? Please think about it and let me know.

    And again, best of luck to you in your new life!

    I'm so glad we had this time together
    Just to have a laugh or sing a song
    Seems we just get started and before you know it
    Comes the time we have to say so long.  Carol Burnett

    We've had quite the adventure.  So much fun.  Enjoy your life after the Minds!

    Hi Barbara - I know you have been such a meaningful part of this community for so many years, and your presence at MOTM (almost all of them!) is truly something special. The relationships you've built and the way you've shown up over time have absolutely made a difference, whether you realized it or not.

    I love that you're calling it a "new phase"-it feels fitting. Wishing you so much joy, rest, and adventure in what comes next. And I have a feeling that "running into you on a beach somewhere" might just have to happen 😊

    You'll always be part of 90 Minds. Cheers to you and all you've contributed.
