SFCU NAMED "BEST PLACE TO WORK"

Washington CEO Magazine's July issue names Spokane Federal Credit Union the best nonprofit organization to work for in the state. Of the 200 companies chosen as the "Best Places to Work For" this year, fewer than 10 in the top 100 are located in Eastern Washington.

"We at Washington CEO Magazine believe it is important to our community and to our economy that businesses make people their No. 1 priority. We are delighted at this opportunity to honor companies who are passionate about achieving excellence in their workplace environment," said Bob Ritter, Publisher and CEO of Washington CEO Magazine.

In an anonymous survey taken by SFCU staff, the credit union received 9.45 points out of 10 for Rewards & Recognition, 9.28 points for Benefits and 9.25 points for Training & Education.

"We never aspired to win this award," said SFCU's President and CEO Byron Edgett. "When our employees are happy our members are happy. It's a trusting
environment where everyone looks out for each others' best interests."
