I have not seen any requirement for a particular membership type with
regard to holding an office (or voting for that matter). My wife has a
family membership and is an officer. She has a blue card, and all
privileges associated with that type of membership. There are only two
disadvantages to her having that category of membership: a) she does not
count as a sustaining member for the shire in which we live, and b) if
she goes to an event and forgets her card, she cannot use a copy of the
Black Star to verify membership (the BS is delivered in my name).
