Just a few days left to cast your ballot in the AHA Governing Committee election. Ballots must be submitted by midnight Pacific Time to be counted. With six seats on the GC in contention, this is a particularly important election.

I'll also weight in on this thread. I think Denny and Jeff are being modest about the role the Governing Committee members play. The GC plays a tremendously important role for the AHA. Every year, I depend on the Governing Committee to set the agenda for the AHA's annual plan. The GC is the source of new ideas and a conduit for what is happening in local homebrewing communities around the country.
Much of the Governing Committee input for the AHA staff takes place at the Subcommittee level, where the discussions are much more focused on specific topics. Those subcommittees are led by members of the GC, but since not every GC member is on every subcommittee, individual GC members may not be as aware of the overall contribution to the organization that those subcommittees are making. I can tell you that the AHA staff is very much aware of the contributions of the GC and grateful for the input we get from these dedicated volunteers.
