Maximizing Your ACS Staff Partner As A Strategic Resource

Working closely with your ACS Staff Partner can significantly elevate your Relay For Life event, from planning to execution to celebration.

Set Up Regular Meetings

  • Schedule consistent check‑ins with your Staff Partner, whether weekly or monthly especially during important times like kickoff or event-day prep.
  • Your Staff Partner is your “Relay Coach,” helping with training, resources, troubleshooting, and planning.
  •  

Request Periodic Data

  • Ask your Staff Partner to share meaningful event metrics like year-over-year trends, fundraising successes, or areas needing extra attention.
  • Use this data to guide strategy and refine your approach.

Tap Into Their Broad Network

  • Lean on your Staff Partner for local/related insights
  • Ask if there’s another Relay event nearby that’s particularly thriving, and what tools or tactics have contributed to that success?
  • Your Staff Partner can connect you with their other events and help align the experience with your own situation
