Export Control Officer (Online Course)

The importance of understanding export controls and how to develop a comprehensive export compliance program is critical for businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying materials, products, and technology in a global marketplace.

Breakfast with the Birds #NCPEP ETT101 Bird watching is an increasingly popular, eco-friendly outdoor activity that allows participants to experience the natural world while learning more about its avian inhabitants. Here in southern Arizona we are fortunate to be living in one of the world’s premier birding areas where hundreds of species make their home and hundreds more visit our riparian oases, or sky islands on their migratory way to somewhere else. This half-day program, designed for the novice birder or birder-wannabe, provides an overview of the variety of birds found in Southeastern Arizona. We begin with a buffet continental breakfast and a slide-lecture on this diversity of bird life, focusing on physiology, habits and habitat. From bird identification we move on to birding basics, covering the selection and use of field guides and binoculars, bird watching etiquette, along with a survey of the best places to go birding in Southeastern Arizona. To complete your introduction to the subject, there are tips for including birds in your backyard with landscaping and feeding guidelines. Finally, we’re off on a tour of the grounds at Tohono Chul to see what we can see!

In the American Southwest we use the term Spanish frequently and loosely.
