A Message From

Our President

Welcome to a New Year of Growth and Opportunity within OWIT!


Dear members and all, 


Starting a New Year and it is with excitement that I am addressing the welcome message as the President of this esteemed organization, in our first newsletter of the year 2024. 

The past year has been full of new programs, new, strong partnerships, and conferences. We have navigated the complexities of global commerce and strengthened our network of professional women across the globe. 


Your dedication and commitment have been the driving force behind our collective achievements. I am grateful for what has been built already as foundation by our immediate past President and more will come. 


As we look to the year ahead, let us renew our commitment to empowering women in international trade. We will continue to break barriers, create new pathways for success, and support one another in our professional endeavors. Our focus will remain on providing valuable resources, educational opportunities, and a platform for dialogue and exchange that fosters growth and innovation. 


Let us strive to make a positive impact on the world through our work as an NGO. I am confident that with our shared vision and collaborative spirit, Organization Women International Trade will reach new heights in 2024. 


Thank you in advance for your trust. Together we can move mountains. 


With Union comes strengths.


With Warm Regards,


Hulya Kurt

President, Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT)
