Rotarian Vince Erickson Earns Emmy for Impactful Journalism

Congratulations to our Waco Rotary board member and Public Image Chair, Vince Erickson! Vince won a prestigious Lone Star Emmy award last month as part of a KWKT FOX 44 team who created a 30-minute special program called "Facing Domestic Violence" for broadcast on the station.
Vince was instrumental in the creation and execution of the program as the station's Director of Special Projects (as well as the station's Weekend News Anchor). Vince, along with lead anchor MG Montemayor, Executive Producer Sylvia Villarreal and photographer Ruben Gasca, traveled to Irving for the Lone Star Emmy Awards on November 15, 2025. Vince also represented KWKT-TV Fox 44 as a virtual presenter for the Lone Star Emmy Awards.
 
"It is an honor for the Fox 44 team who put tireless work into "Facing Domestic Violence" to be awarded a Lone Star Emmy --- a gold standard of broadcast journalism," Vince said. "It was also an honor for me to have taken a servant-leader approach to creating and executing the project -- being mindful that "service above self" is a Rotary value to be lived -- professionally and personally."
