EP 38: Holli Snyder – Natural Born Leader & the Vail Daily’s Ad Director
Contrary to popular belief, Alex is not the only person that is beloved by the microphone. Alex’s guest today, Holli Snyder, has spent 26 years in the media business in the Vail Valley and has spent plenty of time behind a mic, but this is her first podcast! She currently serves as the Ad Director at the Vail Daily. Her background in the media has allowed her to be involved with all community organizations, events, and municipalities. She resides in Eagle and has a self-professed love of that community and everything it has given to herself and her family.
As the mother of 2 daughters, Holli has been involved in the Eagle County School District for the past 16 years and has been present for more than a few sporting events and theater productions. She is on the cusp of being an empty nester and figuring out the next phase of life.
In the meantime, she will continue to find ways to get involved in this community and give back in whatever capacity she can!
