"I may not be able to attend the meeting this year so please find out the following and report back on Monday"

What and miss the steak dinner and see MOM in drag? Well maybe the steak dinner is worth while.

"How does one get the coveted lake area PHRF rater position that has opened up?"

You can try a bribe or be adopted. Similar to obtaining a Ms. River Pilot license.

"Is that person nominated and elected?"

Sure, kid. See above.

"Are they anointed?"

They are the chosen ones. Mortals need not apply or question their actions.

"I hear that the last dead beat got to chose his successor is that true? "

Don't know if he is dead or beat, but successors are chosen by the inner sanctum. You and I being troublemakers definitely will not be asked. A minority of honest Abes (like Mojo) are always appointed for credibility, but their voice is usually crushed by the evil majority.

"Does a rater have to own a PHRF boat?"

Raters do own PHRF boats in general. Why else would they waste their time in committee meetings other than to mess with the competition? Be at the meeting. Writing garbage (like this) won't help make the change.
