肖恩·米. 斯奈德
D.C. 酒吧,总统
肖恩·斯奈德 为D服务.C. 酒吧 in various capacities over the past few years and, 如果当选总统, he intends to leverage that knowledge of how the 酒吧 operates to continue to advance the organization’s mission.
“I have seen how the 酒吧 operates from the inside, and I have the connections with leaders within and outside the 酒吧 to ensure that our 酒吧 continues to be a model for other bars. My prior and current leadership experience, my work running a membership organization, and my knowledge of the 酒吧’s operations give me a unique perspective,他说.
斯奈德 is executive director of the National Association of State Treasurers, one of many positions he has held in the public service and association/nonprofit sectors. 斯奈德 previously served as COO of the American Psychiatric Association, 首席运营官兼临时董事.C. Department of Health, special assistant to the general counsel at the U.S. Department of 住房 and Urban Development, and legislative counsel for the D.C. 委员会.
在D.C. 酒吧, 斯奈德 has served as treasurer since 2020 and has also sat on the executive, 预算, 和财政委员会.C. 靠谱的滚球平台公会理事会. Member engagement and access to justice are central to 斯奈德’s platform. 他说，这两者是相关的.
“第一步是吸引更多的成员, bring more people into the fold who will be active in the 酒吧 in any capacity. That then translates into having more people who are willing and able to advance access to justice goals,斯奈德说. “How do you connect those two pieces? 这就是我想关注的.”
As head of the National Association of State Treasurers, a membership group that was historically dependent on in-person engagement, 斯奈德 led efforts to transition the organization’s operations online during the pandemic. Now that member participation habits are shifting, he says organizations must consider “what can we do in person, 我们应该做些什么呢?”
“There’s a ton of value that you have from in-person events, but how do you complement that with virtual activities without undermining in-person? Those virtual activities can add value because you can find ways to bring in people for whom travel or scheduling might otherwise be a barrier. Virtual opportunities to provide pro bono service can dramatically increase the number of people served,他说.
斯奈德 points to his background in public service and association management, 以及他目前在靠谱的滚球平台事务所的职位, as evidence of his qualifications for the position of 酒吧 president. “会员增长和参与度, that’s what I do every day for a living, and I would be bringing that knowledge and experience to bear in the role as an elected official at the 酒吧,他说.
斯奈德 holds an MBA from George Washington University and a JD from Georgetown University Law Center. He was named a Certified Association Executive by the American Society of Association Executives.
