Well, I may be a johnny-come-lately but so it goes. I'd like to submit myself for your consideration as well. I have a passion for homebrewing and hope to be able to help the AHA and it's membership (us that is) as much as the AHA and it's membership (you that is) have helped me!
take a look at my statement and decide for yourselves (I'll steal Drew's promise and say that I will buy any AHA member a beer at club night if elected )
