No, it sure doesn't seem like it has been four years.

I wish I had more, but perhaps this very good article in the SCA-INC
section of my Florilegium might prove useful to your candidates or even
some current Baron and Baronesses:
Baronial-Lead-art (18K)  5/30/97    "Principles of Leadership and a
Baron/ess" 
                                       by Conor mac Cinneide.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org
