A Message From

Our President

Greetings Members and Friends of OWIT

This comes with joy and gratitude for your hard work and dedication towards the success of OWIT.

No matter how big or small together we are breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes while paving the way for future generations of women to enter this field and succeed. Our collective skills and expertise are vital to our economies and never doubt that your work is valued and appreciated.

As OWIT we remain committed to creating an environment that supports women in trade and provides equal opportunities for all. This includes initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion, improve access to training and education, and support entrepreneurship and small business development.

I urge you to continue pursuing your dreams and to never give up on your goals. Together, we can create a brighter future for all women in trade by Turning Obstacles into Opportunities through better Ways to Improve Trade.

Thank you for your contributions and for being an inspiration to us all. 

At your Service

Frida Owinga

Submit Your Chapter to be Spotlighted!

Every other month, a different chapter will be highlighted as part of OWIT International's chapter spotlight program. Within this 60 min program, the presenting chapter will share their programs, achievements, initiatives, and any other crucial factors that have kept them together as a chapter. Attendees will not only gain knowledge from the presentation but also have the opportunity to ask questions. 

The benefits of doing this as the spotlighted chapter, you will gain global visibility, attract new members, and have opportunities for collaboration within OWIT as we strengthen OWIT's global footprint.

Interested in presenting at a chapter spotlight?

Please submit the following details for your chapter at owit.org/submitchapter for consideration.
