The
Inland Northwest is flanked to the north by Canada (90 miles)
and includes Spokane, the largest metropolitan area
between Seattle and Minneapolis.
The greater Spokane metropolitan area
population exceeds 300,000. Spokane
is diverse in industry, commerce, recreation, resources,
and natural
beauty—with four distinct seasons for year-round weather enjoyment.
Downtown is divided by the Spokane River and is the home of Riverfront
Park—the site of the 1974 World’s Fair.
The main branch of
Global Credit Union,
where the chapter meets, is in the heart of downtown, and the present
business climate is ideal for the operations of those who want
to be active in the anti-fraud movement—past, present and future.
