I've sat on a number of boards -- professional, social and fraternal.
The experiences have run everywhere from a lot of fun to a total pain.
One thing to consider is that there can be some hidden costs involved -- for instance those luncheon meetings for which members are expected to pay out of their own pocket. Depending on the board and where they meet, those can add up.
Also, again depending on the kind of board, be sure that the organization insures its board members from potential lawsuits, etc.
I guess I would advise to talk to former and present members of any board you're invited to join and be sure you know what the real story is.
