The benefits of joining OWIT
OWIT offers webinars, conferences, networking opportunities as well as resources where members can find speakers, consultants and advisors on international business and trade.
Some of the most rewarding benefits of OWIT membership come from participation in the networking, educational, and professional growth opportunities available through a local OWIT chapter. Members can take advantage of a broad range of opportunities to advance their professional and personal growth. Events organized by chapters reflect the diversity and range of chapter locations and members’ interests.
You can become a member of OWIT by joining an existing local chapter, the ‘virtual chapter’, or by starting your own chapter. The option to join the ‘virtual chapter’ works well for individuals who do not have access to a local OWIT chapter where they reside or work.
Once you join your local OWIT chapter, or the virtual chapter, you automatically become a member of OWIT International, giving you access to the OWIT International network.
