I'm on the board of Chicago Women in Publishing this year, if you'd like to come to our events. You don't have to be a woman, although it helps if you have some interest in publishing. I am also on the board of the League of Women Voters of Illinois, where we care not one whit about gender - but we care an awful lot about the sad state of Illinois government.
