On the board? Officer? Opinionated member?

Scholarly Societies: Why Bother?
and this:
The American Astronomical Society responds to “Scholarly Societies: Why Bother?”
Are you connected with a scholarly society in any way?

Back in the 20th century when I was active, I belonged to eleven scholarly societies. I still belong to two, where I am a life member. My major society requires membership for publication in our journal. I have generally enjoyed attending meetings. I knew many of the participants and have shared interests with them. I enjoyed standing up in a business meeting, “As a fully paid up Life member, I strongly support the proposed increase in annual dues.” People remember that to this day.
