About this event



WIT-NC Presents 

Trade is a Four-Letter Word 

(But It Doesn't Have to Be a Bad One)

June 14, 2023
La Honda Winery
2645 Fair Oaks Ave., Redwood City, CA

An urban winery in the heart of the Peninsula!!!
In-person only event

5:30PM - Pre-event Networking, Wine and Appetizers

6:15PM - Seated Dinner, Wine and Dessert
6:45PM - 8:00PM Educational Program

Not that kind of four-letter word, but you know the ones: Hold, Deny, Regs, Govt, SNAP, Pain. Slow. John McPeak has heard it too, and he knows it doesn’t have to be that way. In his more than 20 years as a trade compliance professional, John has shipped computer hardware and oilfield equipment, helped get specialty medicines to patients who need them, and learned a thing or two about building a compliance culture. Join us for a lively discussion of how you can add value, grow in your trade compliance career, and feel good doing it. 

Bring your thoughts and questions! This will be a highly interactive session, with topics including (but almost certainly not limited to):

  • No more “Department of No”: How trade teams can add value without shortchanging compliance;

  • Getting comfortable with general licenses: What to do when the law says you can ship but the carrier is skeptical;

  • Bringing your whole self to work: Making the case for curiosity and problem-solving as key parts of your compliance toolkit.



Speaker:
