“This is meaningful to me because Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts were a big part of my life growing up in Hyde Park, New York,” said Snyder, who earned the Boys Scouts’ highest rank of Eagle when he was just 13.

The dinner is the premier fund-raising event for the Boy Scouts. Each year the event honors a community leader. Snyder was chosen as this year’s honoree by the event’s nominating committee.

Snyder moved to Flagler County in 1997 with his wife Michele to oversee the planning for the hospital which is now AdventHealth Palm Coast. He has been associated with the health department for the past nine years.

Bob and Michele Snyder have been involved as coaches, chaperones and event organizers with the Special Olympics. Bob Snyder serves on several boards including the Flagler Beach Rotary Club, Healthy Start, Flagler Volunteer Services, Early Learning Coalition, United Way Cabinet and the Northeast Florida Health Planning Council.

He is a founding board member of Flagler Cares.
