Sarah Massie to Speak on Export and ITAR Compliance at Upcoming Events

S Massie Consulting LLC is pleased to announce that its President, Sarah Massie, will be speaking at two upcoming events to address the importance of balancing sales opportunities with national security. As companies expand internationally or into manufacturing items subject to the ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), it is critical they also maintain a full export or ITAR compliance program. Recent events, such as the Russian sanctions and the Chinese balloon incident, highlight the importance of recognizing and protecting national security at all levels of the supply chain. Ms. Massie will provide expert insights on how companies can stay on the right side of regulations while capitalizing on opportunities for growth

Highlighting World Trade Month on May 18th at the World Trade & Investment Day in Missoula, MT, Ms. Massie will discuss the challenges companies face in maintaining a full export compliance program while expanding internationally. She will provide practical strategies for companies to avoid costly mistakes that can arise from non-compliance, including the latest enforcement trends, and the impact of current events on the regulatory landscape.

I-90 Aerospace Corridor Conference & Expo

At the I-90 Aerospace Corridor Conference & Expo on May 30-31 in Coeur d’Alene, ID, Ms. Massie will discuss how companies can balance the opportunities and challenges of expanding into ITAR manufacturing. She will provide valuable insights into the ITAR regulations and the importance of maintaining a full ITAR compliance program. This is especially important in light of increased enforcement and the need to protect national security throughout the full supply chain.

Importance of Compliance

Ms. Massie emphasized the importance of compliance in balancing the opportunities for growth with national security concerns, saying, “As your company seeks to expand into new markets or engage in ITAR manufacturing, it is important to have a full understanding of the regulatory landscape. The need to balance growth opportunities with compliance is critical. If you understand and navigate these regulations effectively, you will position yourself for long-term success.”
