BELLINGHAM - Anneliese Vance has been appointed as a Visiting Fellow at the Border Policy Research Institute (BPRI) at Western Washington University for the 2008-2009 academic year. 

While at WWU, she will investigate the investment strategies of importing and exporting firms within the Cascadia border region as they adjust to new border security measures.  When completed, her research will offer a comparative assessment of supply chain integration and strategy in two key North American borderlands regions - Cascadia and the Niagara region in southern Ontario and western New York.

She received her doctorate in Geography from the University at Buffalo in 2008.  She has published extensively on the impact of border policies on the Canada-U.S. commercial relationship in borderland regions. 

As a BPRI Fellow, Vance will be available to give lectures on campus and to off-campus business groups. She can be contacted at the BPRI at (360) 650-2642.
