Now, 25 years later, Snyder is serving her ninth year as president and CEO of Interfaith of The Woodlands, the same organization that first welcomed her family to the community and one that provides more than a dozen services to residents of The Woodlands and surrounding communities. Leading the faith-based organization is the latest endeavor in Snyder's career of giving back to her community.
"I have always volunteered, and I grew up in a family where that was very important," Snyder said. "My parents were very much believers that it was our responsibility to be involved."
Snyder was born and raised in Nebraska and received a degree in education from Colorado State University. Her graduate studies focused on reading diagnostics, and Snyder received her doctorate in curriculum and instruction from Baylor University.
