1. DORI’S STORY
The
“REACH OUT &
INSPIRE
SOMEONE”
Success

2. Hi. My name is
Dori Caminong. I help Glide
SOAR.

3. Glide is a non-profit
organization in San Francisco
that does some pretty
AMAZING
things for the community.

4. Lets just say I get to work with incredible people.
Doing work thats truly meaningful.

6. I even have a
fancy title
that my mom gets to
brag about.
Dori Caminong
Manager — Special Events, Civic and
Social Innovation

7. But I wasn’t always such a
MOVE R and shaker.

8. 10 years ago, I was
in New York.
Living the dream.
Or so I thought.

9. Until one day a true D R E A M J O B popped up.

10. The job was “Executive Assistant.”
The dream part had to do with the
executive Id be assisting.

11. 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.

12. She and Glides Co-Founder, Cecil Williams,
have been on the front lines of the fight for
social justice for decades.

13. Im honored to fight alongside them.

14. From day one, it was a P E R F E C T fit.

15. The job demanded energy.
And I had ENERGY.

16. Late nights. Early mornings.

17. Helping people.

18. Giving them hope.

19. Spreading the love.

21. The days turned
into years.

22. And I was given more
and more responsibility to
MAKE THINGS
HAPPEN.

23. Things that I couldnt do alone.

24. I needed help. And so did Glide.

25. The economy had shifted.

26. Tough times made things
even tougher for the less
fortunate, so Glide
needed to extend its reach
and broaden its
SUPPORTERS.

27. We needed more young people.

28. More tech people.

29. The landscape was changing and
Glide needed toADAPT.

30. This is where I
first started seeing the
TRUE VALUE
of LinkedIn.

31. To help me find the
right people.

32. People who not only
had the skills, time, and
resources I needed.

33. But who shared my passion for
GIVING BACK.

34. So I started adding
connections.

35. Expanding my NETWORK.

36. And it paid off.
Last year we were
ramping up for our big
fundraising gala.

37. Out of the blue,
we lost our
ticketing partner.
So I hit LinkedIn.

38. And quickly found
CONNECTIONS
to a new resource
that could help on
short notice.

39. Whew!

40. Glide is a place thats always been focused on
B UILDING community through service.

41. These days, I just use a
much more modern set of
T O O L S to build with.

42. I share, post, and comment — to amplify Glides
voice in a digital world.

43. I work with leaders
in the tech field to keep
Glide trending high.

44. I connect with people
on LinkedIn —
TO EXPAND
our community
online and offline.

45. The people who
help Glide in its
mission do it
because they want
TO GIVE
of themselves.

46. But they end
up realizing that
theyve been
uplifted too.

47. Being of service lifts us all.
Thats Glides mission.
And every day I get to be
part of it.

48. Its been the most
rewarding
experience I can
IMAGINE.

49. I know a lot of
people think of LinkedIn
AS A TOOL
to get a new job.
And its definitely
good for that.

50. But Ive used
LinkedIn for a very
different purpose.

51. TO GROWin the job I have.

52. TO FIND
the people I can
work with.

53. To take on more
RESPONSIBILITY.

54. To accomplish MORE.

55. And be more FULFILLED.

56. And so can you.
Heres to your success. imagine.linkedin.com
