Complicated ideas and scientific data are often hard to understand for public or community partners. Reframing your information to serve your audience is the first step in managing your message.

Dave Snider is the Alaska Weather TV Desk program leader for the National Weather Service Alaska Region at the Anchorage Weather Forecast Office. Dave has over 20 years of broadcast television and graphics experience in Alaska, Colorado, North Carolina, and Missouri.

Dave is a father of two boys, a husband and grew up in Saint Louis.
