WITI strives to create genuinely welcoming environments where each person is treated with equal support and respect, regardless of title, age, gender, or ethnic background. WITI's policy at every WITI event is that no person stands alone; i.e., it is each person's responsibility to welcome a solitary individual into the group; no cliques are tolerated at WITI events.

Women become fully empowered when we make a conscious decision to accept full responsibility for our decisions and our actions. At WITI meetings we utilize our time, intelligence, and talent to support each other in identifying options, finding solutions, and taking action.

WITI members are committed to honoring the women who came before us who contributed to our present and consciously work towards creating a better legacy for the next generation of women.
WITI members are receptive to change. We know that no one person has all the answers. Even when there is a success, the WITI Woman knows that there are many situational approaches, and many challenges ahead. WITI members appreciate others' ideas, problems, and solutions without judgment.
WITI members constantly strive to improve and contribute to each other's relationships. Rather than blaming others, we understand that each of us is responsible for making WITI better and utilizing our networks to expand and build our relationships.
WITI Members understand that we are plowing new ground; to make things better risks must be taken. WITI members are willing to take risks to improve and positively contribute to our global society.
WITI members are committed to responsibly using our knowledge of technology to make a positive contribution to our global society.
