Dave HornishWell, if it comes to anything and my help is wanted, I would be willing to serve as an advisor on how to set things up for now, at least, as opposed to a more active role. I am certainly not campaigning! 
At present I am 4 months into a three year term on a committee with my professional association (www.usaverageadjusters.org if you want to lull yourself to sleep) and would probably not be able to devote enough time to a full committee or such (if elected, i will not serve?) here but would consider such participation at a later date.
I am happy to offer advice though, if that is desired as I have been through executive, membership and nomination committees, plus some ad hoc ones too, almost continuosly for the last dozen years.
Personally, I think you need a well-known hobby name to be chairman as some cachet is helpful. I forgot to add you need a lawyer for legal advice and will probably need D&O insurance unless membership rules specifically state no suing of directors is alllowed. Our association directors got sued about ten years ago and we were glad to have the D&O coverage! I think premium for D & O cover for a non-professional association would run $1,500 or so annually and I could help with contacts for that as well. Dang, you need dues after all if you buy insurance. Can't escape the lawyers and the underwriters......
