Leadership Speaker Series – Shaylyn Romney Garrett

American Promise

The 2023 American Promise Leadership Speaker Series is thrilled to bring to you a forum highlighting the thoughts and ideas of innovators driving forward both the For Our Freedom Amendment and positive change for all Americans. This year’s speakers will share their experiences engaging with citizens across the country and across the political spectrum, and explore how their experiences give them hope for a unified future for this country.

We are excited to continue our series this fall with author and award-winning social entrepreneur Shaylyn Romney Garrett. Shaylyn will bring a unique perspective on how we approach divisiveness and work towards a more unified future, and the roles religion and spirituality play. Register here to ensure you will not miss this important conversation.

More about our speaker: Shaylyn is co-author of The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again, and American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us. She co-founded the nonprofit Think Unlimited, a venture working to catalyze social innovation in the Middle East. Her work has been featured in numerous outlets including Time Magazine and The New York Times, and she has spoken at Tedx.
