The Association of Women in International Trade (WIIT) is the premier nonpartisan professional organization in Washington, DC, for individuals – particularly women – who share an interest and expertise in the field of international trade. In addition to its first-rate programming, WIIT is recognized for its range of professional development initiatives. It is the only trade organization in the Washington area that keeps you ahead on trade news while also expanding your professional skills and opportunities.
