Pima County/Tucson Women's Commission · 50th Anniversary

50 Years — Run of Show & Interactive Presentation

A Look Back, A Look Forward · 1976 → 2026
Women's Equality Day · Wednesday, August 26, 2026 · 5:30–8:00 PM · YWCA of Southern Arizona, 525 N. Bonita Ave.
What this is

One file: the program, the projected deck, and the room’s live voice

This is the whole evening — doors at 5:30 to close-out at 8:00 — as a timed run of show and as a projectable slide deck. Every speaker gets their own slide with their name, their segment, and three talking points. Between segments, a 50-Year Challenge round gives the room something to shout out — all five drawn from the Commission’s own 10 Things to Know challenge. And during Lucy’s Game Time block, guests scan one QR and answer three questions from their phones — the results close the game live, and Molly reads them again at the Ask.

Built to the committee’s actual run of show (the PCTWC50 Celebration sheet). Every time, speaker and segment below matches it. The 4 Challenge rounds and all 3 live questions live inside Lucy’s 6:55 Game Time block — one QR before the first Challenge, the live results after the last one — so no other speaker loses a single minute. Two things still need you: the Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame inductee names (7:01 slide) and the sponsor names. Edit the SHOW block at the top of this file’s script and everything re-renders.
The evening, minute by minute

Run of show

Every time and speaker below comes from the committee’s PCTWC50 Celebration sheet. Gold rows are 50-Year Challenge rounds; teal rows are the three live questions. The chip on the left is the slide number to be on.

AV cue sheet: laptop → HDMI → house screen. Open 🎦 Present (Slides), press ⛶ Fullscreen, drive with ← →. Keep the title slide (with the QR) up the entire reception so guests scan early. On a trivia slide press ↓ / Space or click Reveal answer. Ask the YWCA to confirm guest wifi in advance — the polls also work if only the presenter's laptop is online (see the fallback note below).
The three live questions

Look Back · Look Forward · Step Up

    Why these three, and why there: Q1 runs at 6:09 in the settle window, so the room learns the mechanic before it matters. Q2 closes the Presentation at 6:58 — it turns 150 guests into a community-voted priority list across the six locked focus areas, a real artifact for 2027 planning. Q3 opens at 7:26 and runs silently under Molly Ring’s Ask, so Molly can read the number aloud in her concluding remarks. Nobody stops the program for a poll.
    If the wifi is bad

    Three fallbacks, in order

    • Same-device demo: the deck syncs across two windows on the presenter's laptop with no internet at all.
    • Paper backup: print the three questions on the back of the program; a volunteer tallies and the emcee reads the count.
    • Skip cleanly: the poll slides still read as beautiful question slides. Ask for a show of hands and move on — nothing breaks.
    The 5 Challenge rounds need no phones at all — they are shout-outs with a click-to-reveal. Only the three live questions use the QR. For true cross-phone results, deploy this page to theforce.health and create the ffh_session_responses table per the ffh-interactive-session skill. Locally it works window-to-window.
    The six focus areas on stage

    Every stat shown tonight lives in the PHIT™ Score Card

    The Presentation Committee locked six focus areas. Each gets a decade Look Back and a one-line Look Forward. The rule the Commission set: if it's on the screen, it must be findable in the My Girl Power PHIT™ Score Card — so anyone who asks "where did that number come from?" gets an answer, not a shrug.

    Assignments to confirm this week

    Who owns what

    • Kim Fitch (Chair) — emcees the entire program: the 6:00 settle-in, the 6:15 open (land acknowledgment, electeds present, commissioner roll call, former commissioners stand), every introduction and accepts the joint proclamation.
    • Surprise guest at 6:20 — name deliberately withheld from every public page, post and printed program. Switch the deck to Room mode (?mode=room) to see the slide; Web mode shows “Special Guest.”
    • Stephanie Noriega (50th Presentation chair) — approve this run of show and lock it. Print programs with the QR.
    • Lucy Howell — the 7:00 Hall of Fame segment (2025 class named on the slide; swap in the 2026 class when announced), Challenges #4 and #5, and drives the deck.
    • Annie Sykes (Nominating chair) — Get Involved cards circulate during the Executive Team’s ask, not after.
    • Roberta Vance — photos. The 6:35 joint proclamation is the shot of the night. Legacy Book table staffed all evening.
    • Molly Ring (Treasurer / Website & Social) — delivers the 7:16 Ask and closes the evening; screenshot the Q2 bars at 7:00; that is tomorrow’s post.
    • AV / whoever drives the laptop — read the cue line under the deck on every slide. It tells you exactly what to do.

      Tip: project this window, and open 📱 Audience Poll in a second window (or on phones via the QR) — answers appear on the slides live. ← → to move, Space / ↓ to reveal a trivia answer.
