I was really involved as an advisor before I had kids and found it much easier to move up to volunteering on a regional level once I had kids. When you're not so directly involved with one specific chapter, you can do things on your own time. For instance, instead of having to attend 3 hour Executive Board meetings once a month, you get all those reports and read them when you have the time and provide feedback. One has to be done on their time schedule, the other you can do at midnight if that's when you're up with a cranky baby who needs to be in the swing. Same 3 hours work either way, but one is done from your own home on your own time schedule, as long as it gets done.
