Today’s business world moves at great speed. Although regulatory organizations do not always move with great speed, there are many of them out there making the rules. With all of these organizations comes what sometimes feels to the trade community like lots of changes in short periods of time.
While not all changes are earth shaking, some are. Some are so far reaching that they require the trade community to plan accordingly way ahead of time. How should the trade community keep up?
There are many ways to keep up. Newsletters, webinars and good old fashioned research are the most typical avenues. These are all good. There’s also the more intensive method of attending trade seminars. Physical seminars are invaluable in many ways including the classroom style presentation of content, and the simple truth that the opportunity to network in the trade community is often a pathway to great knowledge.
JAS Forwarding USA Inc. Compliance Team is excited to be one of the sponsors of this year’s Second Annual Global Trade Educational Conference (G-TEC). This is a two day intensive training event in Atlanta, Georgia starting on August 8 and ending August 9, 2016. This is an exceptional opportunity for trade professionals including importers and exporters to interactively bring themselves up to date on relevant and well-timed content related to the trade community.
Join us at G-TEC and let’s get to know each other and learn together.

For December, we are highlighting Jeffrey Bispham on the West Coast! Jeff has been in the industry for 26 years and remembers using a typewriter to prepare 7512's. He has always worked in the import/customs brokerage side of logistics. Jeff was adopted as part of the JAS Family when JAS acquired Tigers back in 2021 where Jeff had long tenure.
In October 2023, the JAS Forwarding (USA) Tacoma Foreign Trade Zone became an active FTZ in the JAS USA Network. Jeff became the FTZ administrator of that site and has been instrumental in building the compliance for our FTZ site on the West Coast.
Jeff enjoys all sports, although he would tell all that he has become more of a spectator than a player as the years have passed. Jeff enjoys being outdoors. But most of all, he enjoys spending time with his family. That time can often occur at the beach, or a Seattle sporting event (Mariners, Seahawks and Kraken).
Jeff is yet another great example that People Make the Difference!
