The Witch of Wall Street: Conversation & Book Signing with Patricia Chadwick

Hear from one of Greenwich’s legends and leading women, in a conversation moderated by Jennifer Openshaw, Chair of Girls With Impact (GWI). In her newest book, Breaking Glass, Patricia delves into her story—kicked out of a cult at seventeen, Patricia Walsh Chadwick started on the bottom rung of the ladder in the world of business and worked her way to the top, breaking through the glass ceiling to become a global partner at Invesco. 

Patricia, on the Board of the Bruce Museum, is known to many for her leadership advancing women and under-served communities.

Book signing and meet and greet reception will follow the conversation. Books will be available for sale from Diane's Books.
