About 2017 ACS CAN Lead

Relay for Life of Clay County is looking for an ACS CAN Lead for the 2017 Clay County Relay for Life!

The main job of the ACS CAN Lead is to retain and recruit volunteers to help with advocacy education and activation (i.e., create opportunities for participants to join the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network [ACS CAN]). They also collaborate with the Event Lead and Fund The Cure Lead to plan and set goals for advocacy education and activation.

Furthermore, the ACS CAN Lead will need to be an expert on the Society's legislative priorities and ACS CAN materials/resources, and should cultivate relationships with volunteers and community members who have directly benefitted from the society's advocacy efforts, and identify those who are willing to share their stories in person, in writing, and/or with the media.

Also, they will leverage kickoffs, team meetings/rallies, fundraising workshops, Bank Nights, event days, and wrap-ups as opportunities to educate Relay participants about the Society's advocacy efforts/successes, legislative action alerts, and opportunities to join ACS CAN, and collaborate with the Entertainment Lead, Activities Lead, Ceremonies Lead and the Mission Lead to plan a powerful closing ceremony that includes advocacy education and activation.

Finally, the ACS CAN Lead will ensure that all other Leadership Team volunteers are considering advocacy education and activation in their plans, as well as ensure that all advocacy volunteers/contacts know how much they are appreciated.
