This is a semi-digression, but one thing that would also be nice to know 
is how to get on those (new or old) committees, and what sorts of time 
and expertise they require.  I know I'd be willing to devote some time 
to a committee if it aligned with my interests and expertise, but the 
process is currently a bit murky to me.

As for the board, I don't think there will be a lack of interested 
people.  Both of the board elections we've had so far, if I recall 
correctly, have had at least 8 or so people with significant approval 
(though 6 of those had approval less significant than the two who were 
actually elected to the board, of course ;-).
