SOLD OUT!

Adversity. Tenacity. Success. Sound familiar? These descriptors fit Watermark women to a “T.” But these are also the themes of a new book coming out in January by a certain influential American icon. Here’s a hint: she went from little girl in a Bronx housing project to being the first Hispanic, and the third woman ever to become a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.

She is, of course, Justice Sonia Sotomayor. And just days after the (January 15, 2013) release of her new book My Beloved World: A Memoir, she will speak to a Watermark audience about topics dear to each Watermark heart, including:

• Her deeply valued mentors
• Where she draws her inspiration and resolve (in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges)
• Her vision of America today—still one of ever-infinite possibility

Watermark women are bound together by our experiences of: institutional adversity, exceptional tenacity, and extraordinary success.

That being the case, then each Watermark woman should be forever united in soul sisterhood with Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to join in kinship, in inspiration, and in empowerment, with indisputably one of our country’s most important women of our time.
