Stan Atkinson, WEAVE Board Member, and well-known community member will receive the high honor from the San Francisco/Northern California Chapter of the National Academy  of Television Arts & Sciences on June 4.

Atkinson spent 45 years in television news. He worked as a primary news anchor and reporter in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, but is known most notably for leaving his mark in Sacramento, during his 18-year career with KCRA and later, during a five-year stay at KOVR, until his retirement in 1999.

Atkinson has been a member of WEAVE’s Board of Directors since 2009. As a longtime Sacramentan, and a friend of B.T. Collins, Stan has helped WEAVE grow and mature over the past four decades.
