You are still within the window to be a candidate.

You can say just a small blurb about yourself to the baylisa@ list if
you like.

If you'd rather say something about yourself at the mike that's fine
too.  It's up to the election committee, but we often provide the
candidacy notes as readable material at the voting table.  Some folks
are verbose, others less so.

Board members have to be current members, so it's good that you have
that part in good shape.
