History
WIT-NEO was formed in 1996 by a group of businesswomen in Cleveland, Ohio.   These founding members saw a need for an organization that could provide greater networking opportunities for professionals involved in all phases of international business.  Thus, a continuous series of informational programs was established, based on current developments in the international arena, providing an opportunity for like-minded individuals to meet and exchange business leads and ideas.
