Dear
Friend,
Welcome to the website for the Miami Chapter of the
Organization of Women in International Trade
(WIT-Miami)! Our chapter’s hope is that you will find
our site interesting and it will encourage you to join
WIT-Miami today and begin enjoying being a part of this
community of professional and committed women.
As
one of forty chapters worldwide, the mission of
WIT-Miami is to enhance the status of women in the field
of international trade and commerce. Our chapter reaches
out to our members and our community through
educational, cultural, and networking events once a
month. At these events, a variety of experts provide
insight into timely business, government and social
issues. At the same time, our events provide a unique
forum for our members to meet and establish
relationships with other professionals in the community.
Each
November, we host the International Business Women of
the Year Awards (IBWOY), where female leaders in South
Florida are recognized for their outstanding
contributions to the community. The proceeds of this
event are used to award scholarships to young women
enrolled in international business programs at local
universities.
Each
Whether you are searching for a professional group to further enhance your network of professional contacts or you are seeking an organization where you can volunteer time, we encourage you to attend one of our events and learn more about this interesting and dynamic professional business organization.
Thanks for visiting us!
