Visibility. Authenticity. Advocacy.
That was the heartbeat of the Women in Glass + Fenestration event at 2025. From Stefanie Couch's (Founder, Grit Blueprint) inspiring “Fired to Fearless” keynote to an empowering Women Leaders Panel with Lakisha A. Woods, CAE (President & CEO, National Glass Association) and Sheronda L. Carr, (CEO, National Association of Women in Construction), the message was clear: women’s leadership isn’t optional—it’s essential for the future of our industry.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, spoke up, and connected. Together, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive glass and fenestration community🤝🗣

So much of what makes our industry great happens behind the scenes.
At this year’s America in Orlando, a glass recycling initiative led by Infinite Recycled Technologies quietly made a significant impact.
More than 14 tons of glass were collected and diverted from landfill — proof that even the logistics and cleanup side of our trade shows can drive sustainability forward.
It’s a reminder that innovation isn’t just about what we build, but how we take responsibility for every piece of it. ♻️
Thank you to the team at IRT for their efforts --> Patrick Elmore, Jeremiah Watson, Stanley Yee, Nick Henderson, Samantha Froendt, & Carlos Medina
See more details below on the important and successful effort at the show!
