International Traffic in Arms and Export Administration Act: Why it Matters to UAH

Speaker: Mr. Ariel Leinwand, Special Agent, Bureau Of Industry and Security Office (BIS), Office of Export Enforcement

UAH is a research-intensive University, and receives research funding from a number of federal entities, including the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, NASA, and NOAA, many of which are located in very close geographic proximity to the UAH campus.  Furthermore, UAH serves as the anchor tenant for Cummings Research Park, which is home to over 285 high-tech companies, many of which are engaged in high-tech research.  Because of this environment, UAH faculty, staff, and students often find themselves at the cutting edge of technology.

The intent of this presentation is to give UAH faculty, staff and students an overview of ITAR and Export Control laws and regulations, and to explore its importance at PhD-granting research universities such as UAH.  This presentation would benefit both U.S. Citizens and foreign nationals.  

Attendees of this presentation will receive credit for their required annual export training.  For those individuals with personnel security clearances this will also count as their required annual refresher security training.

RSVPs to denise.spiller@uah.edu are appreciated, but not required, for the purpose of refreshment planning.
