According to James Rector, Profiles in Diversity Journal publisher, “The collaboration between organizations and the magazine over the past 18 years in identifying and selecting deserving candidates for the annual Women Worth Watching Award is a testament to a collaborative and very productive relationship that energizes, inspires, and recognizes women who have demonstrated high levels of leadership.”

At Gibbons, Ms. Sostowski balances her practice between employment litigation and counseling, representing New Jersey and national employers. She is also the Team Leader of the firm’s Higher Education practice and handles a wide range of employment matters for colleges and universities. A longtime champion of women’s professional advancement, she was recently inducted as President of NAWL for the 2019-2020 term.
