AMBASSADOR SPOTLIGHT: David Snyder, Cumberland Valley National Bank & Trust Co.

      Cumberland Valley National Bank & Trust Co. (CVNB) is a Kentucky-owned and operated bank since 1903 with 15 branches across the state, including two branches in Lexington. It is a community bank focused on providing a high-quality customer experience and meeting the needs of our clients.
      A native of Somerset, David Snyder attended the University of Kentucky and started at the bank  in Lexington after graduation. He said, “Lexington is a very sticky town, and you come to love every part of it. I think Lexington is the heart of Kentucky due to its geographic location and ability to produce and sustain business and commerce. Lexington will continue to thrive, and I am excited to see how the city will change and progress in the decades to come.”
       As the assistant vice president commercial lender, his role is to build relationships with current and potential clients, provide a simple yet excellent experience, and be accessible to them to meet their needs at all times. 
    He said, “Commerce Lexington is vital to the community's growth. Lexington is a ‘big, small town,’ and the organization is key to providing an arena where we can all come together and grow together.”
      David also serves on the Steering Committee for the Emerging Leaders of the Bluegrass program. He added, “If member businesses have millennials on staff who would love to get more involved and grow professionally, Emerging Leaders of the Bluegrass is a great network in which to get involved.”
