ISECS Ambassador Program

Welcome to the ISECS!

The ISECS Ambassador program is the original Ambassador program for export controls and sanctions.

ISECS Ambassadors are located throughout the world and work in collaboration with one other, and ISECS HQ, to advance the ISECS mission and promote compliance with international sanctions and export controls.

Ambassadors serve in a non-compensated advisory role and meet regularly to provide updates on their national markets, propose initiatives for the Society's agenda, coordinate cross-border efforts, and share best practices.

If you are interested in becoming an ISECS Ambassador, and willing to assist in building a ISECS Chapter for your country, please send your resume and a short declaration of interest.
