Organization of Women in International Trade-Toronto seeks to enhance the status and interests of women in the field of international trade through the establishment of a global network of business contacts.

OUR GOALS

OUR HISTORY
Formed in March 2000, the Organization of Women in International Trade-Toronto (OWIT-Toronto) is a non-profit professional organization designed to promote women doing business internationally by providing networking opportunities, export education and global business contacts.

Members include women exporters and importers, service providers and government representatives involved in trade. With women-owned businesses significantly underrepresented in the global trade arena, OWIT seeks to change this situation by providing global business contacts, networking and educational opportunities.

OWIT-Toronto was the first Canadian chapter of the Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT). Originating in the United States in 1989, OWIT is a worldwide network of chapters promoting international trade and commerce.
