About this Event

Join Us for Women Leaders Driving International Business and Economic Development!

Join the Organization of Women in International Trade New York chapter (OWIT-NY) for an engaging luncheon conversation featuring Leah Kagan, Director of Economic Development for the City of Stamford.

As global markets, workforce trends, and supply chains continue to evolve, cities and businesses must adapt to remain competitive. This discussion will explore how international trade drives local economic growth, attracts investment, supports innovation, and creates opportunities for businesses and professionals across our region.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into:
• Emerging economic and trade trends
• The city’s vision for growth and business development
• Opportunities for globally minded companies and professionals
• The evolving connection between international commerce and regional success

This luncheon is an excellent opportunity to connect with professionals in international trade, economic development, government, logistics, consulting, finance, law, and related industries.

The restaurant is a 5 minute cab ride from Stamford station, which services MTA and Amtrak trains.
