A Message From

Our President

Welcome to Spring's Awakening Edition!


As the flowers begin to blossom and the world awakens to the vibrant colours of spring, it's a perfect time to inject new life into our own businesses and strategies.


Spring symbolizes renewal and growth, mirroring our aspirations to foster a more diverse and dynamic environment in global trade.

Showcasing our engagement in conferences, organizing trade events and looking into collaborations, we believe strongly on having an eye on new perspectives and opportunities.


Delve into our Spring news, embracing inclusion in all its colours on all levels and in each business domain.


Let this spring be a time of rejuvenation for your business strategies and a celebration of the diversity that makes us stronger together. Join us as we explore the pathways to harnessing the full potential of our collective differences, driving growth, and making a significant impact in the global market.


Here's to a season of growth, renewal, and prosperity in all our international trade endeavors.


Warm regards,

Hulya Kurt

President, Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT)

OWIT Tampa Bay

This week the Tampa Bay Organization of Women in International Trade (TBOWIT) participated as one of the sponsors at the USF International Business Forum presented by USF World, University of South Florida Muma College of Business, and the Office of University Community Partnerships. The 2 day event started with a VIP dinner reception hosted by Tampa International Airport (TPA) at the SkyCenter. The next day was followed by a forum and expo that included meaningful panel discussions about global engagement, diplomacy, fostering international business within the region, and the expo offered an array of resources to the attendees. Overall, the event presented valuable networking opportunities and our board members showcased the TBOWIT mission!
