Volunteers
Vitally important to SNaP's operations is our corps of volunteers—fellow residents of Penn National who are willing and able to spend a few hours each month helping neighbors in need. They perform a myriad of tasks that do not require the services of trained, licensed professionals. Volunteers' services are generally free to SNaP members.
Preferred Providers
When professional services are needed, SNaP calls upon or recommends a company from our network of Preferred Providers. These are local companies whose employees can do the heavier or more demanding tasks that are beyond the scope of volunteers. Members pay for these services, though often at a reduced rate.
Executive Director
The Executive Director is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of SNaP. She makes sure that members are receiving the services they should be getting, brings matters to the attention of the Trustees as necessary, acts as primary liaison between SNaP and the various service providers, and fields or redirects member questions and comments. This is currently the only compensated position in SNaP. Our first Executive Director, Donna Crissman, is a Penn National resident.
Committees
There are six "Operations" committees that are responsible for identifying service providers and/or gathering resources to provide services to SNaP members. These committees are responsible for these functional areas: Transportation, Home Maintenance, Health Support, Information, Lifelong Learning, and Social Support. Three additional committees are responsible for managing the Personnel, Financial, and Marketing functions of SNaP.
Each Committee has one or more of the Trustees as its leader and liaison to the Board of Trustees. The committee structure is designed to manage SNaP's affairs efficiently and effectively, and ensure the highest levels of service to our members. This structure is flexible and may be changed as necessary by the Board of Trustees.
Board of Trustees
The SNaP Trustees are responsible for overseeing all aspects of the corporate affairs and operations of SNaP. Four of the Trustees serve as the Officers of the Corporation, and each Trustee has responsibilities relative to one or more of the various committees. The Trustees are elected by the members at the Annual Membership Meeting on the first Monday of November. All Trustees serve without compensation.
