Welcome to the Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT) - DFW Chapter! We are a non-profit professional organization designed to promote women doing business in international trade by providing networking and educational opportunities. Although founded on a desire to promote women within the industry, our organization is comprised of both professional men and women who come from a variety of backgrounds and are exceptionally talented in their respective fields. The OWIT Board for 2009 is positioned to provide an impressive array of programs and events that will engage not only current members, but also the international trade industry at large.
With the holidays and a new year upon us, I encourage you to find time for the large and small pleasures that make life rich and balanced. Membership in OWIT offers value in the form of educational workshops and forums, leadership opportunities, and networking. I urge you to take advantage of them!
Current members know the value of the contacts, networking opportunities and the friendships that naturally develop between the members. For those who have been members in the past, I encourage you to reconnect with OWIT. Our organization has evolved into a dynamic, productive source of trade-related information in addition to the social interaction that is invaluable in our industry. And if you have yet to become a member of OWIT, make that #1 on your New Year's resolution list!
This is a time of reconnecting with old friends and taking delight in our relationships with one another. When we each contribute, OWIT can achieve great results over the next year and in years to come. I wish you the best for 2009 and I look forward to seeing everyone at the next OWIT event!
Sincerely,
B.J. Demery
OWIT-DFW President - 2009
