GLO Grads

Great Lake Orientation (GLO) for New Staff
GLO is a three day program to orient new staff to the American Cancer Society and the Great Lakes Division. It is at GLO that new staff receive an overview of the Great Lakes Division through presentations by key staff members who will provide support and resources to set them up for success in achieving our mission.

One of the most important pieces of GLO is the relationship building that occurs with the participants.  When they leave GLO, they not only are armed with information and resources, they also know they have the opportunity to make a difference in the fight against cancer. 

Meet Lauren Otis|Administrative Assistant
Northeast Indiana Area Service Center

"Even though I’m an AA and I’m completely behind the scenes, I see how my work affects all the CRs who are out in the community and how they help all of these people who are dealing with cancer. It’s extremely rewarding to be in this kind of job."
