Okay, totally bragging here. I volunteered to become Secretary of a small national organization related to my professional field because no one else wanted to do it, and I figured I could stand to take notes once a year at our annual meeting. Then they wanted to combine the positions of Secretary and Treasurer, and I ended up having to do a ton of work to collect dues, revise bylaws, etc. Then I decided if I was already putting work in I'd go whole-hog and I totally revamped their website (bought a domain with the name of the organization.org, built a brand-new Wordpress website) even though I had no prior experience with that, instituted a new student award, started a Facebook account for them, etc. Apparently my hard work was noticed, and they just elected me President for next year!
