Greenwich Library is excited to welcome one of Greenwich’s legendary leading women, Patricia Walsh Chadwick, in a conversation moderated by Jennifer Openshaw, Chair of Girls With Impact on Thursday, Nov 6 at 6:00pm in the Berkley Theater. This event is presented in partnership with Girls With Impact.
Patricia Walsh Chadwick
Chadwick’s newest book, Breaking Glass: Tales from the Witch of Wall Street, delves into her story—which began with being kicked out of a cult at 17.
She 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.
A book signing and meet and greet reception will follow the conversation, with books available for sale from Diane’s Books.
Patricia Walsh Chadwick received her BA in Economics from Boston University and had a successful 30-year career in the investment business, culminating as a Global Partner at Invesco and frequent CNBC commentator.
Today she sits on a number of corporate boards and writes on economic, social, and political issues. In 2016, she co-founded Anchor Health Initiative, a healthcare company devoted to the needs of the LGBTQ community in Connecticut, and serves as the firm’s pro-bono CEO.
She is active in the not-for-profit world, serving on the boards of The Bruce Museum, The Glimmerglass Festival, Elon University, The United Theatre in Westerly, RI. Patricia is known to many for her leadership advancing women and under-served communities.
She is the author of a previous memoir, Little Sister.
