The Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT) – A Truly Dynamic Group of Professional Women

OWIT is a worldwide non-profit organization that focuses on helping
 women develop and execute global trade opportunities.

I had the pleasure of attending the OWIT Spring Board Meeting held in Washington DC this year.  In attendance were members from not only all over the U.S. but also from other countries who came as representatives from their respective chapters, as I had done for the NY Chapter where I serve as the Vice President.



Notably, we have a new U.S. chapter – OWIT Utah – which is a group of experienced and energetic leaders in the Utah business community.  OWIT Cairo has also returned as an active chapter which I personally thought was fantastic news given all of the changes that the country and its people have undergone over the last couple of years.

Other exciting developments include solid prospects for new chapters in London and India, growing membership within our newly formed “Virtual Members” group, and an OWIT partnership with WEConnect, which is an international organization that certifies women-owned businesses.

For more information about OWIT, check out www.owit.org and for more about the NY Chapter, you can find us at www.owitny.org.

Join us on our LinkedIn Page and I hope to see you at a future event or in attendance at one of our educational webinars!
