Project Teams
Project teams are action groups that implement a specific assignment with a clear goal and established time frame. Once the objective is completed, the project team naturally dissolves. Project teams allow members to step forward for a short period of time and share their knowledge and expertise in a particular area. Members may choose to participate via various methods, such as teleconference and electronically using e-mail or web site discussion forums.
By joining a project team, members help to identify relevant topics, select speakers and host the conference or event.
