A Message From

Our President

My Dear OWIT Sisters,


Serving you has been exciting and filled with good days and some bad days but through it all I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity and your positive participation in our community.

We have had many engagements during the last 13 months and my two favorite ones are HappyHerHour and Chapter Spotlight. These two events were curated last year and I've enjoyed them because HappyHerHour is a fun space we come as we are and get to know each other better. Chapter spotlight brings to the screen what is happening on ground and reinforces our mission of fostering international trade and the advancement of women in business.


There are a lot of goodies in the pipeline and I encourage you to update your email so you don't miss any of it.


I'm grateful for the EC team who have been cooperative and innovative in keeping our wheels turning and it can only get better. We welcome your feedback, ideas and suggestions, because we are in this together to make impact.


Spring Retreat is coming up in May and it would be great to see as many of you as possible in Washington D.C. The weather is great and it's a wonderful city. I love the restaurants most!


Thank you for letting me in your inbox and looking forward to engaging more this year.


Your sister in Trade and Business
