Well, I think anyone thinking about holding an office in the SCA would 
be wise to read this article in the Florilegium:

Even if you aren't the baron or don't ever intend to hold such an 
office these might also be good. Not the least because they let you 
know what should be involved in being the baron. Some folks might be 
less critical of their baron if they knew more of what is involved and 
some barons might do a better job if they kept in mind some of this.
