Apply to join a committee

We’re hard at work planning the 2024 event and working hard to improve all aspects of GiveCamp Memphis. GiveCamp Memphis 2024​ will be the 23rd year of our event, and we’re growing all the time. The Steering Committee (Adam Robertson, Brian Swanson, Mike Cochran, Nicole Lewandowski, and Lance Hilliard) will oversee other committees with the goal of a successful event in the coming year and beyond.

Some of you might be interested in joining one of the committees to help out. We are accepting applications to the committees now. There is limited room on each committee, and applying does not guarantee acceptance. Also, appointments to committees expire following each year’s weekend event – apply each year. The membership of the Steering Committee is self-managed, influenced by those demonstrating a year-after-year commitment to event planning and success.
