Alison Davis Wood
Producer of Gold Star Mothers: Pilgrimage of Remembrance
WILL-TV producer Alison Davis Wood won an Emmy Award in 1999 for her WILL-TV documentary,
Walter Burley Griffin: In His Own Right about the talented, but overlooked Illinois architect. The Emmy was presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Chicago/Midwest Chapter for “Outstanding Achievement for Documentary Programs—Cultural Significance.”
Her documentary Against the Wind, the story of wheelchair athlete Jean Driscoll’s attempt to become the first athlete to win seven consecutive Boston Marathons, was named best Television Documentary in 1997 by American Women in Radio and Television. She was one of 20 producers selected to attend the 2001 WGBH Boston Producers Workshop, where she participated in extensive hands-on training with some of public television’s most experienced producers.
Wood joined the staff at WILL-TV in 1991 after graduating in broadcast journalism from the University of Illinois. A native of Springfield, Ill., she
is the longtime producer and host of WILL-TV’s Prairie
Fire, a cultural magazine series about the people and places of central Illinois. The program has been on hiatus, but will return this
spring with Wood returning to her role as host.
