Several months ago, I volunteered to help out with the new design of the college website. I didn't hear anything back from anyone, though I participated in one forum on the subject.
Then, after the proposals were received and the group had met once, the Director of IT Services asked if I wanted to join them. I said sure and spent the night reading the proposals to prepare for the meeting the next day.
It's been interesting to see others' perspectives in going through the proposals and seeing what they think about what we need, what we want and what "a good fit" means.
It's also been informative to participate in a working group as opposed to a project team. It seems a working group is a lot more loosely organized, whereas a project team, as lead by a project manager, is a lot more organized and traditional.
I've really realized I like working with deadlines and a more defined organizational structure, though I do enjoy freedom and autonomy.
