We are delighted to announce Clarence Snyder ’ s promotion to building manager of NANA ’ s Anchorage office . Clarence ' s incredible 38-year journey with NANA is a testament to his unwavering dedication and commitment to our shareholders and corporation .
Clarence is a proud NANA shareholder who grew up in Noorvik .

Shortly after graduating high school , he began his career at NANA in 1986 . He started as a janitor before moving on to work for NANA Marriott on the North Slope . His career with NANA subsidiaries took him through logistics and purchasing roles , ultimately bringing him back to the Anchorage office in 2012 . His expertise in these areas has been crucial in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations .
In 2021 , he began working for NMS Security on the weekends and has used the skills he gained there to serve as our head of security for NANA ’ s Anchorage assets . As our head of security , he ensured the safety of our employees , visitors and properties in Anchorage .
Clarence takes pride in his humble beginnings at NANA , which has equipped him well for his new role . Throughout his career , Clarence has had the privilege of training 170 NANA shareholders in various job skills , many of whom have advanced to positions at Red Dog , the North Slope , within the NANA region and in Anchorage . He often advises fellow shareholders to work hard , excel in their duties , and seize the opportunities NANA offers . Clarence is also a source of comfort and guidance for countless shareholders and employees who work in or visit NANA ' s Anchorage office .
" I ’ m grateful to Clarence for his hard work and dedication to NANA for almost 40 years ,” said NANA President and CEO John Lincoln . “ His presence and leadership will leave a lasting impact on our organization and our shareholders ."
