The Washington Football Team franchise announced today that Tanya Snyder, who is part owner of the team along with her husband Dan Snyder, has been named co-CEO. Mrs. Snyder has seemed increasingly involved, at least publicly, with the team and high-level communications in the past year or two, and this move to cement and formalize her involvement seems to confirm that her role in the family business has grown.
The official press release from the front office stressed Mrs. Snyder’s past involvement in many aspects of the organization.
Mrs. Snyder has been the steward of the team’s philanthropic activities since the Snyders first took ownership of the team in 1999.
