Smith, commenting on Bodle's contract, said: "This shows the club’s ambition and commitment to building a project along with the management group.
"After holding talks with the manager it was clear our paths are aligned and Steve is 100% the man to lead the club forward - the future is exciting."
On the appointment of Smith and Snell, a club statement said: "Both have been heavily involved with the day-to-day running of the club over the last two months and are keen to create a positive environment for the club and the wider community."
Snell added: "We are both delighted to have been made so welcome by everyone at the club.
"Shirebrook is a thriving community with great, honest, hard-working people and the football club is at the very heart of it.
"Building a sustainable relationship within the community is our main focus and providing the management team with the resources to compete at the top end of the table.
"We look forward to welcoming both old and new supporters back to the club in pre-season which will show a raft of off-the-field changes going on over the next few months!"
Shirebrook have also announced there will be a club clean-up day this Sunday (23rd April) starting at 9:30am where they are asking as many people from the local community to go down to Langwith Road with free tea, coffee and bacon butties being made available for all volunteers.

Bodle brings forward move to Shirebrook
28th February, 2023
Stephen Bodle, who was due to become manager at Shirebrook Town at the end of the season, has brought forward his move to Langwith Road and will take over with immediate effect.
Initially, it was announced that he would assume the role at the end of the season, making a short trip from the dugout at neighbours and Toolstation NCEL Division One rivals Ollerton.
But, with Ollerton now unveiling Damon Parkinson as their new boss for the rest of the campaign, Bodle has assumed his new role ahead of schedule and will be looking to get Shirebrook off the foot of the table in the tight race to avoid relegation.
In a statement released on social media, the Derbyshire club said: "Stephen - who will be working with his management team of Lee Needham, Darren Smith, and Chris Darby - is looking forward to taking his first training session tonight.
"And, he will seek to strengthen the squad ahead of our home game against Retford FC this Saturday."
