So I've been a member of the SFWA since January last year, and in October, having offered to become more involved, received a communication from the (then) Executive Director, Kate Baker (who was really supportive and fantasic), asking if I wanted to assist with the Nebulas.
Of course, I said yes!
After quite a bit of reading and jumping through administrative hoops, I was unleashed on the Nebula Reading List; ensuring accuracy of information and eligibility of suggested titles and games. Busy work when you're not being paid for it... but thoroughly enjoyable!
Then, this January, I was offered the Commissioner role! AWESOME!! Just in time for the awards season - not swamped and distracted from my own writing career at all :)
But having the opportunity to oversee the nominations and subsequent voting process from the 'inside' is insane. Thank you SFWA... I think :)
Anyway, 28th February is when the nomination window closes. So hurry up SFWA members, get your ballots in!
