SD Webinar: ITAR for Executives, A Defense Trade Solutions Webinar, powered by Skill Dynamics
In today’s defense and dual‑use environment, executive decisions have never carried more weight or more personal exposure. ITAR compliance is no longer a back‑office technical activity. It is a board‑level risk area that directly affects corporate strategy, revenue predictability, customer trust, and executive accountability. “ITAR for Executives” is a fast‑paced, executive‑level briefing designed to give senior leaders the knowledge needed to make informed decisions, ask the right questions, and confidently oversee their organization’s ITAR obligations. Whether your organization builds hardware, develops software, provides services, or integrates foreign‑origin technologies, this briefing gives executives a clear understanding of how ITAR exposure occurs and how to manage it proactively.
Why This Matters for Executives
Recent export‑control trends show increasing emphasis on individual liability, stronger enforcement, and closer scrutiny of leadership oversight. Executive awareness is no longer optional. It is a corporate safeguard.
