GLAD
Rights organization abbreviation
Glad means pleased or happy, typically about something specific: I'm glad you could make it, glad to help.
It suggests a lighter feeling than joy—satisfaction more than elation.
Glad often appears in polite expressions: I'd be glad to assist.
The gladness is usually tied to a particular cause rather than a general mood.
