Career
In 1980, Snyders starred on the second season of the nationally syndicated American situation comedy, The Baxters. On the series, Snyders played Gregg Baxter, the son of an average middle-class family living in a suburb of Saint Louis. Originally produced by Norman Lear in its first season, the series was the first "interactive sitcom" of its kind, wherein the first half of each 30-minute episode presented a vignette dramatizing the events in the lives of the Baxter family, and the second half was an "instant analysis" talk show segment, giving a live studio audience and guests an opportunity to express their opinions about the topic being presented that week.
Snyders also produced specials for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and performed on stage in A Chorus Lincolnshire and Oliver Twist.
He was elected to that position in November 2006 and has continued to serve in that capacity since.
