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.

"The most rewarding part for me of being an ACS staff is going from being a volunteer to being staff. I had a really positive experience as a volunteer. Knowing the huge impact that ACS staff had on me [I’m happy that I’m] able to be in that position now, to have that impact on volunteers, and really inspire that passion [in them]. That’s the best part.
