 Export Compliance Seminar - February 20, 2008 (Portland, OR)

 **********************************************************************

 Mr. Jerome (Jerry) Greenwell, Trade Ombudsman for the Foreign Trade 
         Division, U.S. Department of Commerce will be leading an all day seminar 
         focused on new export controls, AES regulation updates, enforcement 
         trends and best practices for both freight forwarders and exporters alike.

Jerry will be joined by George R. Tuttle, III, a trade attorney focused 
         on Customs and Export Control matters for the past 20 years.  He has a 
         wide variety of experience involving diverse compliance issues, as well 
         as Focused Assessments and other agency interactions. 

The export environment has dramatically changed and we have new Export 
         Control Laws with increased penalty provisions, as well as increased 
         scrutiny of Exports by CBP and Census.  Come learn about this new 
         environment and the regulation and security issues that everyone engaged
         in Exports must understand to remain compliant, aware and out of trouble.
