Connection is what we d0

Join us for Above the Glass on March 6th, 2026.

Created to be a space where women gather with curiosity, generosity and the courage to be both learners and leaders, Above the Glass is happening on March 6th, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. And we can’t wait to see you there.

Taking the main stage

Sharon McMahon

Yes, the Sharon McMahon. She’s a #1 New York Times-bestselling author, award-winning educator, founder and philanthropist. And she’s this year’s Above the Glass keynote speaker.

A longtime government and law educator, Sharon became known as America’s Government Teacher during the 2020 election when she went viral for breaking down complex topics with a steadfast commitment to the facts. With equal parts levity and gravitas, Sharon has attracted a community of millions of followers as she’s redefining how we can turn confusion into clarity, inspire change and help others by doing the next needed thing.

Sharon’s debut book, The Small and the Mighty, went to number one on all of Amazon and was celebrated as one of the best books of the year by Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and more.

Her publication, The Preamble, is dedicated to non-partisan political insights, and in its first year, grew its distribution to be larger than nearly every print newspaper in America.

She leads philanthropic initiatives that have raised millions for disaster recovery, medical debt relief, international crises, classroom grants, and more. Sharon inspires audiences with a message of hope: that we can create powerful change with our small, consistent actions.
And we are so looking forward to sharing her company.
