From the networking breakfast, to the keynote presentation, to the Women Leaders Panel, one message was clear: Women in Glass + Fenestration are shaping the future by showing up, learning, and lifting each other up.

The future of Women in Glass and Fenestration will be stronger when...
🏗️ ‘When inclusion is interlaced into every design, blueprint, and conversation, it brings stability and strength.’ – Sheronda L. Carr, CEO, NAWIC
🤝'Women champion other women and make the table bigger.’ – Lakisha A. Woods, CAE, President & CEO, NGA

✨ ‘You have to know what you want to be known for. Tell people your value and start showing up.’ – Stefanie Couch, founder of Grit Blueprint, reminded us that visibility and vulnerability create impact.
💡 ‘Always be looking for someone you can learn from. Confidence and curiosity help us grow—and help others grow too.’ – Lakisha A. Woods, CAE

The Table is Big Enough for ALL of us.
Together, we’re building an industry where every voice matters.

Once products have been installed, how can you confirm they are performing as intended? At the Main Stage session “Field Testing for Water Pe*******on in Fenestration Systems”, Aaron Blom, FGIA Technical Training Specialist, shared insights from AAMA 503, Voluntary Specification for Field Testing of Newly Installed Storefronts, Curtain Walls and Sloped Glazing Systems. This FGIA document outlines test methods for evaluating the performance of newly installed storefronts, curtain walls and sloped glazing systems, and these tests provide reasonable assurance that the installed product is performing to the required air leakage and/or water pe*******on performance levels.
