Can you clarify what he means by get on committees in the quote "Tattoo this list somewhere you won’t forget to look. (1) Publish academic papers. (2) Go to conferences. (3) Get on committees"?

They're often used as a measure of peer esteem for academic performance evaluations (far less significant that publications, obviously), and would no doubt be useful when trying to land a post-doc.
