Do NOT miss the upcoming four-part Audio Conference Series "ITAR Basics for Exporting Industry Employees" beginning Wednesday, April 13th

This comprehensive remote-learning program introduces the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to employees of defense suppliers, manufacturers, exporters and brokers who are newly assigned to export compliance responsibilities as well as those who must understand ITAR rules to do their jobs, including personnel involved in sales and marketing, engineering and design, international and government contract management, mergers and acquisitions, finance and billing, human resources, legal, operations, security, procurement, shipping, logistics and transportation.

It is also for those who work for commercial and dual-use firms who need or want to know how the ITAR does or might affect their organizations. Additionally, if you think you are ITAR free or do not have any ITAR related issues, you could be “very wrong.” If you are, it can be a costly mistake on many fronts.

Each of the four 90-minute sessions is on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 3:30 P.M. Each session will address different parts of the ITAR. Programs will be held on April 13, 2011; April 27, 2011; May 11, 2011; and May 25, 2011.

The instructors, who are proven expert legal and compliance specialists, include: John Priecko, Trade Compliance Solutions; Greg Hill, DRS Technologies, Inc.; Suzanne Kao, Huffman Riley Kao PLLC; Ginger Carney, Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium; and Phil Rhoads, Rhoads & Reed PLLC. All the sessions will be moderated by Sam Gilston, Editor and Publisher of The Export Practitioner and Washington Tariff and Trade Letter.

If you are unable to participate in this four-part, remote-learning series in person, you can order a CD recording of all four sessions along with all the PowerPoint slides.
