I highly recommend contacting the previous holder of the position. In my chapter the word of that person could hold a lot of weight and if they're on the slating committee (however KD does this) they can affect that as well.

I got involved as webmaster because I was the only one who could do it. And then I stayed there because no one else could, so I got stuck and didn't move up the ladder. If this year you can get an appointed position (assistant to _____) you may be able to move up into that position next year, and you'll have experience already.
