Speaker Background Information:

Snow served as the White House Press Secretary for the George W. Bush Administration from May 2006 to September 2007. In 1991, he served as director of speechwriting and Deputy Assistant to the President for Media Affairs for President George H.W. Bush. He has spent 25 years in the news business, working in all three major media—print, radio and television. He started his career in 1979 as an editorial writer for The Greensboro Record in North Carolina and went on to write editorials for The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk. He ran the editorial pages in both The Daily Press of Newport News and The Washington Times. He has written nationally syndicated columns for both The Detroit News and USA Today.

For seven years, he served as the host of FOX News Sunday, and most recently he served as the host of The Tony Snow Show on FOX News Radio and Weekend Live with Tony Snow on the FOX News Channel.

In February 2005, Snow was diagnosed with colon cancer. After successful colon surgery, he began a course of chemotherapy treatment and returned to work at FOX News in April 2005. In March 2007, 10 months after becoming White House Press Secretary, Snow learned his cancer had returned. Vowing to fight the disease, once again he underwent surgery. In April 2007, Snow resumed his White House duties and began a second round of chemotherapy treatment, which he completed just prior to leaving the Bush Administration.
