  • in time maybe lead a working group
• Make sure you vote when there is a chance for members to vote.
• If you haven't already joined one of the constituencies, think about joining one - though it is not required.
• When it comes time for nominations, nominate somebody, or be ready to be nominated.
  
  • when you are ready even self-nominate
