Throughout her journey as a PMI Board member he has collected many favorite memories. 4 years in a row and a number of roles and assignments fulfilled – it was a whirlwind of ideas, projects, meetings, events, conferences, leadership meetings and new opportunities. Building teams with diverse experiences and perspectives is crucial for any organization to be successful, and same is with the volunteer projects. Boryana is a firm believer in "If there is a will there's a way". And the she continues: "There were challenging times in volunteer’s life as in any other personal or professional assignment, but when you see the great result of collective efforts of the team and ultimately, the impact you made at bigger scale – it absolutely worth it - every minute, sleepless hour or a weekend spend outside of family".

   Over the years she got connected and collaborated with many dedicated PM professionals from around the globe, fired a lot of friendships and even met some of my current colleagues at work. That volunteer experience further sharpened her PM and leadership skills, while at the same time she was involved in other than usual IT projects e.g. Project Management training to teachers in primary and kids in secondary schools. Great learnings from the social good projects of the Chapter, Boryana also presented during PMI Bulgaria Summit 2019 on the topic "Could kids be Project Managers". With a team of amazing volunteers, the first ever translation and publication of PMIEF resource into Bulgarian for Project Management education to primary school students got completed. She does believe that the team made a small step towards the goal to change the way children learn and plan through knowledge of project management. "Big THANK YOU to Damayan Kasapov and Nikolay Doychev" she says.
