Welcome

Our newsletter seeks to inform you of the many events and involvements of our dynamic organization, one that continues to grow in membership and expand its dedication to advancing global trade opportunities for women around the world.

As our organization evolves and grows, so do the benefits of membership. We encourage you to take full advantage of these benefits and use them to represent your chapter and OWIT in order to continue advancing OWIT’s role for women in global trade.
