Snortland and his 60 years of volunteer service to Capital Credit Union. Snortland was instrumental in helping the credit union grow from its humble roots to the thriving financial cooperative it is today. He was a relentless advocate of Capital Credit Union and the credit union industry and dedicated to educating members, elected officials and local citizens about its cooperative structure, member-centric products, personalized service and community involvement.
