SOMEONE”
Success
SOAR.
Hi. My name is
Dori Caminong. I help Glide
Glide is a non-profit
organization in San Francisco
that does some pretty
things for the community.AMAZING
Let�s just say I get to work with incredible people.
Doing work that�s truly meaningful.
Dori CaminongManager — Special Events, Civic and Social Innovation
I even have a
fancy title
that my mom gets to
brag about.
But I wasn’t always such a and shaker.MOVER
10 years ago, I was
in New York.
Living the dream.
Or so I thought.
Until one day a true popped up.DREAM JOB
The job was “Executive Assistant.”
The dream part had to do with the
executive I�d be assisting.
Janice Mirikitani was the Founding
President and Executive Director of Glide.
She was a force of nature — an inspiring
leader and true mentor. She still is.
She and Glide�s Co-Founder, Cecil Williams,
have been on the front lines of the fight for
social justice for decades.
I�m honored to fight alongside them.
From day one, it was a fit.PERFECT
The job demanded energy.
And I had ENERGY.
Late nights. Early mornings.
Helping people.
Giving them hope.
Spreading the love.
The days turned
into years.
And I was given more
and more responsibility to
MAKE THINGSHAPPEN.
Things that I couldn�t do alone.
I needed help. And so did Glide.
The economy had shifted.
Tough times made things
even tougher for the less
fortunate, so Glide
needed to extend its reach
and broaden its
SUPPORTERS.
We needed more young people.
More tech people.
The landscape was changing and
Glide needed to ADAPT.
This is where I
first started seeing the
of LinkedIn.TRUE VALUE
To help me find the
right people.
People who not only
had the skills, time, and
resources I needed.
But who shared my passion for
GIVING BACK.
So I started adding
connections.
Expanding my NETWORK.
And it paid off.
Last year we were
ramping up for our big
fundraising gala.
Out of the blue,
we lost our
ticketing partner.
So I hit LinkedIn.
And quickly found
to a new resource
that could help on
short notice.
CONNECTIONS
Whew!
Glide is a place that�s always been focused on
community through service.BUILDING
These days, I just use a
much more modern set of
to build with.TOOLS
I share, post, and comment — to amplify Glide�s
voice in a digital world.
I work with leaders
in the tech field to keep
Glide trending high.
I connect with people
on LinkedIn —
our community
online and offline.
TO EXPAND
The people who
help Glide in its
mission do it
because they want
of themselves.TO GIVE
But they end
up realizing that
they�ve been
uplifted too.
Being of service lifts us all.
That�s Glide�s mission.
And every day I get to be
part of it.
It�s been the most
rewarding
experience I can
IMAGINE.
AS A TOOL
I know a lot of
people think of LinkedIn
to get a new job.
And it�s definitely
good for that.
But I�ve used
LinkedIn for a very
different purpose.
in the job I have.TO GROW
the people I can
work with.
TO FIND
To take on more
RESPONSIBILITY.
To accomplish MORE.
And be more FULFILLED.
And so can you.
Here�s to your success. imagine.linkedin.com
