A message from our President:

March President’s Message by Janice Huff 

Hello, NWA Family! As a longtime member of our organization and a second-year Board member, I am proud and excited to step in for President Bryan Karrick to write this month’s newsletter in honor of Women’s History Month. Everyone has a story, and even though we would all love to “write the book” (and some do), in most cases our stories have their own natural twists and turns, trials and tribulations, and triumphs that are often out of our control. Especially for me, since I somehow came into the broadcast side of meteorology never wanting to be on camera but ending up the chief meteorologist at WNBC in New York City for the last 27 years!
