Her passion for helping women of all ages maximize their opportunities arises from strong Human Resource and Business Management experience in both public and private sectors. She has developed position-sharing departments and job posting programs for independent businesses and Fortune 500 companies including Advance Mortgage-Citicorp, Chubb Pacific Indemnity, Kidder Peabody & Co., and LTV Aerospace. Janna’s training seminars for HR departments and Executive Search firms have helped many women move from ‘survive to thrive’ employment, while reducing turnover and associated costs.
     Snyder has served on Boards and Committees including Detroit Women’s Economic Club, Michigan Professional Women’s Network, Women of the Kirk, Kirk Presbyterian Pre School Board and the National Association of Personnel Consultants.
     She has a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Leadership from Central Michigan University. Janna grew up in Detroit and currently resides with her husband, Craig, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. They have two grown children, Ross and Kellie.
     “I’m excited about collaborating with Hope Against Trafficking and their related recovery communities. Utilizing a vast network of local resources represents the very definition of networking at its best. Seeing local professionals and volunteers providing a full spectrum of health, education and tangible life skills training is amazing. These services empower victims to become productive, fulfilled members of society. Institutional and Correctional facility treatment programs alone traditionally provide short term, potentially expensive services with limited accountability. By collaborating, we can increase long term success rates and reach more victims.”
