Established in memory of L.K. Comstock, the Comstock Award is NECA’s highest honor recognizing contributions in the complex field of labor relations.

Today, Snyder serves as President of Cannon & Wendy Electric Company in Phoenix. He started at the company as an Intermediate Jouurneyman Wireman and worked his way up the ladder until he became Executive Vice President, then President.
