Battery Council International (BCI) is pleased to announce that Donna Snyder, a retired senior leader at East Penn Manufacturing Co., is the 2026 recipient of its Distinguished Service Award.
The BCI Distinguished Service Award recognizes exemplary service to the energy storage industry and is the association’s highest individual honor. The award recognizes those who have made a sustained, long-term, and meaningful contribution to the advancement of both the association and the battery industry.
“It is not an exaggeration to say that BCI would not be the organization it is today without Donna Snyder’s leadership.” said BCI President and Executive Director Roger Miksad. “She didn’t just fill a spot on BCI’s committees, she led them – and in some cases, built them from scratch. Donna’s volunteer service over many years is exactly the kind of selfless work that the Distinguished Service Award was created to recognize.”
Donna will be formally honored as part of Battery Council International’s 2026 BCI Convention + Power Mart Expo on May 5 in Nashville, Tenn.
