OMA lost a great friend this past fall with the passing of Charles A. Snyder. A tireless supporter of the museum, Snyder served as a trustee and benefactor for nearly fifteen years. He first became involved with the museum during his tenure as president of the City Park board, helping to facilitate negotiations leading to the construction of the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. An attorney who was active in a wide range of New Orleans cultural institutions, Snyder served four, three-year terms as a member of NOMA’s board of trustees, holding officer positions including vice president and
secretary and chairing the legal committee. He volunteered hundreds of hours of his time handling legal issues on the museum’s behalf, including negotiating with the Egyptian government on the contract for the 2003 international exhibition, The Quest for Immortality. After Hurricane Katrina, Snyder, like many of his fellow trustees, rallied to provide leadership and financial support for the museum. Serving at the time as president of the board of the Historic New Orleans Collection, Snyder initiated a collaborative exhibition program between the two institutions and facilitated the joint acquisition of an important series of Katrina paintings by Rolland Golden. Snyder was elected an honorary life trustee in 2009. NOMA is fortunate to have been the beneficiary of Snyder’s lifelong dedication to community service and volunteerism. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family of this great man.
