You can't have a Relay For Life event without three things...survivors, teams, and committee members.

Being a committee member means that you are a part of the group of people that plan and execute the actual Relay For Life event.

The committee is composed of many different people with many different skills for the many different features of Relay For Life.  Led by "chairs," some committee members focus on growing the event, like recruiting new teams, finding sponsors, survivors, helping teams learn more about Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society.  Other committee members focus on event production, like event night activities, logistics, planning ceremonies, advertising the event, and much more.  Every committee in every event is always looking for new members.  The success of an event depends on having new committee members bringing fresh ideas each year.  If you are someone who is passionate about the fight against cancer, is motivated to fight back, wants to represent the American Cancer Society in your community...then you are a committee member.  You just need to sign up!

Each event is different, so you should talk to your local staff partner or local Relay For Life Committee Chair for information specific to your event.
