🧭 Strategic Pillars — how the Commission organizes its work

Vision · adopted 11–0 at the June 13, 2026 Summer Retreat

Our vision is a Tucson and Pima County where every woman and girl has the safety, opportunity, and empowerment she deserves — for herself, her family, and her community.

PILLAR 1

⚖️ Advocacy & Community Impact

Where the issue work lives. The focus areas below all sit under this pillar.

PILLAR 2

🌱 Organizational Sustainability

Funding, recruitment, and keeping institutional knowledge.

PILLAR 3

📣 Visibility & Public Engagement

Events, media, website, and showing up at M&C and BOS Call to the Public.

PILLAR 4

🏗️ Operations & Infrastructure

Officers, committees, records, compliance, and the 240 N. Court building.

Pillars first identified at the 2025 Board Retreat and carried into the June 13, 2026 retreat (item 9), where commissioners split into one group per pillar to set goals and KPIs (items 10–11). The minutes record a vote on the Vision only, not on the pillars. The pillar goals and metrics aren't written into the minutes yet.

📄 What the approved retreat minutes say, word for word Saturday, June 13, 2026 · Items 5 and 9

Item 9, Strategic Pillars: "Strategic Pillars are the 3-5 core priority areas that connect the organization's vision and mission to action; examples include brand and advocacy. In the 2025 Board Retreat, these areas of focus were identified and could become the basis for strategic pillars: Advocacy and Community Impact · Organizational Sustainability · Visibility and Public Engagement · Operations and Infrastructure. Discussion ensued if these pillars were still serving us and if any adjustments needed to be made."

Item 5, State of Women in the City and County: "Kim also asked for feedback from commissioners on current challenges facing local women (domestic violence, resources, childcare availability, economic equity, healthcare access)"

🗳️ What the community told us — Your Voice Poll

🙋 Attendance & quorum

✅ Quorum is settled: 8 today (51% of seated). Art. VI §3 · Bylaws adopted Dec 4, 2024

Art. VI §3: "The presence in person or virtually … of fifty-one percent (51%) of seated members (excluding vacancies) … shall constitute a quorum." With 16 seated, quorum is 9. It rises as seats fill — at a full 20 it becomes 11. Committee quorum is 40% of that committee's members.

This also confirms the Commission got it right in December 2024: the vote to count quorum against seated members matches the bylaws adopted at that same meeting.

The one loose thread — County Clerk Katrina Martinez had asked the Commission to obtain a legal interpretation of the bylaws on quorum. The Commission declined to hire an attorney and relied on its own reading, and the record doesn't show the County ever confirmed it accepts that reading. Open item on the record: no written County acknowledgment of the quorum reading is on file.

Note: this platform originally flagged quorum as "unresolved" — that was an artifact of the bylaws file being unreadable (saved with no file extension), not a governance gap. Corrected once the document was recovered.

👥 Attendance vs. quorum, meeting by meeting

Green = who showed up. Purple = how many seats were actually filled. The orange tick on each pair is the quorum that meeting actually needed under Art. VI §3 — 51% of seated members. The red dashed line is 11, the quorum only if all 20 seats were filled. The gap between green and purple is the real story: attendance was never the problem — the Commission simply did not have enough commissioners.

🎯 Attendance rate by commissioner (current commissioners)

Counted from every roll call on file, through the Sep 9, 2026 draft minutes (the Jul 1, 2026 minutes aren't in the folder yet). The red dashed line is 75%. * Newest commissioners (purple): only one or two roll calls so far. Former commissioners are not shown.

📈 Commissioners seated over time — the recovery is real

The Commission nearly emptied out. From a low of 6 seated in May 2024 it has climbed back to 16 — but 4 of 20 seats are still open. 🟢 Hover any green node to see who was seated and what happened at that meeting.

🎯 Focus areas — the retreat's 5 and the 50th's 6, side by side

Both lists are community issues under Pillar 1. The retreat named five challenges. The 50th Anniversary presentation built on them, adding Housing from the committee's 50-year research and two areas from the My Girl Power PHIT Score Card.

🔍 What the Commission says about itself (June 2026 retreat)

✅ Commissioner appointments, as recorded

Sources: 25 PDFs in Opportunity Items/PCTWC/Important Docs/Past Minutes. The Oct 2025 minutes are a scanned image and could not be read — they are the one gap. Roll-call format changed over time; meetings before May 2024 don't list attendance in a parseable form, so the seated-count series starts there.

Onboarding — from Letter of Interest to fully seated

The minutes name the same problem at every retreat: turnover and loss of institutional knowledge. This is the fix — a defined path in, and a record of who has walked it. Two commissioners were removed for attendance; two more resigned. Nobody should arrive without knowing what the job is.

🚪 The path in — eight steps

Step 1 is new, and it starts before anyone commits to anything. Bring a prospect to a meeting. Open Meeting Law makes every session public — use it. It is the cheapest recruiting tool the Commission has, and it works: Gayle Petrillo observed, then submitted her Letter of Interest.

🎖️ The New Commissioner Orientation Badge

Nine self-paced modules — mission & vision, how the Commission works, Open Meeting Law, finding your committee, attendance & the removal rule, the issues we track, the tech toolkit, your first 30 days, and the profile that publishes to the Gallery and the Legacy Book. About an hour. Ends in a printable certificate signed by the Chair and the Nominating chair.

Open the Orientation Badge →

📋 Where each commissioner stands

All eight steps, one row per commissioner. Steps 1–4 are ticked automatically — a seated commissioner has, by definition, observed a meeting, sent a Letter of Interest, been reviewed by Nominating, and been confirmed by her appointing authority. Steps 5–8 are the live work. Loyalty Oath is a hard requirement — a commissioner cannot vote until it's on file. Legacy 50th Profile is her page in the 50-year Legacy Book. Committees is a multi-select — click the chips to pick every committee she sits on.

📦 The welcome packet — what every new commissioner gets

The minutes record "streamline new member welcome packets" as an open action item and list the bylaws as hard to locate ("We could not easily find the current Bylaws"). Until the bylaws are found, digitized and put in the packet, onboarding is incomplete — and the quorum question stays unanswerable.

Roster — 16 seated · 4 open · 20 total

Current roster: the official roster of 7/11/26 plus Dana Taylor (seated by the Sep 9, 2026 meeting). 16 seated, 4 seats open.

🖼️ View & share the "Meet the Commission" slide →

Source: official roster dated 7/11/26, updated with the Sep 9, 2026 roll call. Attendance is computed from every roll call in the minutes. Terms expire on the dates shown — a seat that expires is a seat you have to fill again.

🎯 The play: don't ask them to find someone. Hand them a slate.

An appointing authority with a vacancy has a chore. An appointing authority handed three vetted names with backgrounds and contact details has an easy win — and Mayor Romero already told the Commission, on the record in January, that she intends to appoint someone. She just needs a name.

Target: all 20 seats filled before the 50th on August 26, so the Commission walks into its own anniversary at full strength for the first time in years.

🏛️ The open-seat slates (4 seats open) — add a name to any of them

Three seats need an outside appointing authority. The open Commission seat needs nobody's permission — the Commission nominates, the Board of Supervisors confirms. Letters of Interest go to Annie Sykes.

📉 Vacancy by month and by seat type — what the 27 sets of minutes actually show

🔒 The candidate slate is saved to the Commission's database and visible only to the Nominating Chair and officers. Record status only — never opinions or rankings of candidates; those belong in a noticed Nominating meeting. Get consent before you put anyone's name in front of an elected official. Slate entries are public records.

Fundraising — every dollar named in the minutes

The retreat named funding as the #1 weakness and grants, fundraising and collaborations as the top three opportunities. Here is what the record actually shows — including money the Commission has already been offered.

🎟️ 50th Sponsorship Outreach — City & County offices · track every ask

All 12 City & County offices are loaded with their official .gov emails. Click ✉️ Email to open a ready-to-send sponsorship ask (it auto-marks the office Emailed), then set the status, log any dollars committed, and add notes — so the whole Commission can see who's been asked and where it stands. Goal: $4,000 — a $500 yes from each office more than covers it. Outward outreach to City/County offices is fine under OML; just don't turn this into an internal quorum discussion.

🏦 Savings account — from the Treasurer's reports

$33,248 has earned about 0.15% a year for three years ($114 total). Any change to where Commission funds are held is a decision for the full Commission at a noticed meeting.

🎯 The pipeline — drag a card between columns, or use its dropdown

Six stages, from In the Universe (we know it exists) to Closed or Lost. Every card here also appears in the Partners CRM, linked to its organisation — one pipeline, two views.

🏛️ Revenue the Commission already has

➕ Track a new ask

Amounts and sources are taken verbatim from the minutes (Aug 2023 – Jun 2026). The Foundation is the Commission's fiscal path for tax-deductible gifts — confirm current fiscal-sponsorship arrangements before soliciting.

Peer Commissions — the national network PCTWC isn't yet part of

Fifty verified women's commissions across the United States. The retreat named "lack of institutional knowledge" as a threat — this is the cheapest fix available: other commissions have already solved our problems.

🇦🇿 Arizona has NO state-level women's commission. Verified.

A Governor's Commission on the Status of Women existed under Executive Order 66-2 (1966) but is long defunct — its records sit in the Arizona State Library. There is no Maricopa County commission either. That means PCTWC and the Phoenix Women's Commission are the only two active women's commissions in the entire state.

That is a gap — and a leadership opening. A commission celebrating 50 years in a state with no statewide body is, whether it has claimed the title or not, the senior women's commission in Arizona.

⚠️ Iowa's commission was dissolved outright in 2024
⚠️ These bodies are being cut. Survival is not automatic.

, swept into a Human Rights Board with six other commissions. New Hampshire's ceased to be a government body in 2014. Connecticut's was consolidated away. New Mexico's was defunded and dismantled in 2012, sat dormant seven years, and only returned in 2019.

The pattern among survivors is unmistakable: commissions written into charter or statute (not executive order), with paid staff, a recurring published status-of-women report, and a sister 501(c)(3) that can raise money the government body can't. PCTWC currently has none of those four — but it does have a building, and it has Lucy's Foundation relationship. That is the strategic conversation for the next retreat.

🤝 NACW — the National Association of Commissions for Women

👥 NACW Board of Directors — who to actually call

🗂️ The directory — 50 commissions

💰 Two things PCTWC has that almost none of these 50 do — tagged below

💰 A 501(c)(3) — 7 of 50, and only one is verifiably alive. Maryland is the working model: a foundation chartered purely to raise the money the state body legally can't. Virginia shows the cheap version — no new entity, just an existing nonprofit acting as fiscal sponsor. San Francisco, Florida and Kentucky each built one and let it go quiet; their filings stop between 2017 and 2022. Connecticut and New Hampshire are the warning: those nonprofits exist because the government commission was abolished and the work had to flee somewhere. PCTWC holds its own 501(c)(3) while still seated in government — that combination is close to unique in this directory.

🏛️ City + county reach — 4 of 50, and not one of them is what PCTWC is. San Francisco, Denver, Philadelphia and New York cover a city and a county because their city is the county — one consolidated government, one appointing authority. PCTWC is chartered jointly by two separate governments, Pima County and the City of Tucson, each appointing commissioners. Across 50 verified commissions, that structure did not turn up once. It is twice the reach and twice the ask — and it is the hardest thing on this page for anyone to replicate.

A missing tag means no public evidence was found, not that nothing exists — a small friends-of group filing a 990-N postcard is nearly invisible online. Verified August 2026 against IRS/ProPublica, GuideStar and each body's own site.

Compiled July 2026 from official state, county and city sources. Verify before formal outreach — these bodies change with administrations, which is precisely the point.

👥 My Committees

Calendar — one calendar, two audiences

Public events publish straight to pctwc.org. Private events (Executive, committee working sessions, candidate conversations) never leave this page. One place to manage both — nobody keeps a second calendar.

⚠️ Before you mark a meeting public, read this — Open Meeting Law applies.

Under A.R.S. § 38-431, a gathering of a quorum of a public body discussing that body's business is a public meeting — and it requires posted notice and an agenda in advance, even if you call it a "working session."

That means: any gathering of a quorum of the full Commission (8 today) — or a quorum of any committee — that discusses Commission business must be noticed. Tagging it "private" here does not make it private in law. Use Private for committee work below quorum, one-to-one candidate conversations, and internal planning — not to avoid a notice requirement.

When you mark an event Public Meeting, this page reminds you to post the agenda to the City Clerk (PCTWC is board #50).

Coins & Leaderboard — LEARN It · LIVE It · SHARE It

⏸ Commissioner coins are paused.
Coins for attending meetings or doing Commission work are on hold until the County Attorney confirms in writing that they are not a thing of value given to public officers by the platform's donor. The public Community board is unaffected.

Two boards, deliberately separate. The Commissioner board pays out for the governance work the Commission actually needs done. The Community board (live on pctwc.org) is the public 50th Challenge. Coins are awarded by doing, not by claiming.

Email Campaigns — lists, tags, and a send button

One-way outreach to the public and partners.
Never use campaigns to send a proposal or an opinion on Commission business to commissioners — a message proposing action to a quorum is a meeting (A.R.S. § 38-431(4)(b)). Every campaign sent is a public record.

The Commission has no email system — that is in the minutes, and it is why the Gmail (with the building leases inside it) was lost when one person left. This replaces it, owned by the organisation, not a person.

🏗️ How sending works — and why it comes from The Force for Health

This is built multi-tenant from day one, the same way the Canva pipeline is: one FFH-owned sending account, with each organisation as a tenant keyed by org_slug. PCTWC is tenant pctwc.

Mail still sends as info@pctwc.org, not as FFH. The Commission adds three DNS records to pctwc.org (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) — a ten-minute job at the registrar — and from then on every campaign lands with full deliverability and PCTWC's own name in the From line. The Commission's list, the Commission's domain, the Commission's reputation.

Why FFH holds the account: because the alternative is what already happened. Every asset tied to one person's personal login left with that person. An org-owned account, with credentials two people can reach, is the whole lesson of the lost Gmail.

White-label: another Chamber of Health or commission drops in as a new tenant with one row — its own domain, its own From name, its own lists. No new code.

Status: the builder, segments and templates are live and working now. Actual delivery is one API key away — add the sending key and verify the domain, and the Send button goes hot. Until then it composes and copies.

Admin Panel — what appears, in what order, for whom

Turn any section on or off. Drag to reorder. Set who can see it. A new commissioner should not be handed 22 tabs on day one — show her six.

🧭 Welcome Tour — the guided walkthrough, kept here for easy reference

This is the same guided tour a commissioner sees on her very first visit. Launch it live any time, or read every step below for a quick reference — no need to click through the pop-up.

🧭 Who sees what in the menu

Pick a role, then switch sections on or off. This is saved for the whole Commission. Everyone in that role sees the change the next time they open the Command Center. The Admin Panel is always locked to the Executive Committee + Systems Coach.

Speakers Gallery — who came, what they said, what we owe them

Chair Fitch's 4th strategic objective was to "identify speakers to attend the PCTWC." This is the record of who came — and the pipeline of who's next.

🎤 Guest speakers & what they told us

⚠️ Three meetings are missing from the record — and at least two speakers are missing with them. This dashboard can only see what's in the folder

Everything on this page is read from the minutes in Opportunity Items/PCTWC/Important Docs/Past Minutes. Three meetings cannot be read, so anything that happened in them is invisible here:

MeetingProblemWhat it costs us
May 2026No file in the folder at allKatia Jones and Dr. Thompson appear to have presented at this meeting. Neither appears anywhere in the written record.
March 2026No file in the folderUnknown — could contain motions, votes, or guests.
October 2025Scanned image, no text layerUnreadable without OCR. Fixable in minutes.

This is not a small thing. The retreat named loss of institutional knowledge as the Commission's #1 weakness. Here it is, concretely: two people gave their time to present to this Commission, and there is no record that they were ever here. A speaker with no recap gets no follow-up, no thank-you, and no ask.

The fix, in order: ask the Secretary for the May and March 2026 minutes; OCR the October 2025 scan; then adopt one rule — minutes are filed as searchable PDFs, in one folder, within two weeks of the meeting. That rule costs nothing and would have prevented all three of these.

🎤 They came and spoke — the recaps

📋 What we took away — and what we still owe them

🎯 Speaker pipeline — who should we invite?

Recaps are drawn verbatim from the minutes. Speakers are the cheapest program the Commission runs — no budget, high value, and it builds the relationships that fill seats and unlock grants.

Resources — every document a commissioner needs, in one place

The retreat named "lack of institutional knowledge" as a threat. This is the antidote: one shelf, one link, no hunting.

✅ with no file extension
✅ Fixed: the Bylaws can now be opened.

The minutes recorded "We could not easily find the current Bylaws." The file existed all along — but it was saved , so it wouldn't open, preview, or turn up in a search. It has been recovered and renamed to PCTWC-Bylaws-ADOPTED-2024-12-04.pdf in PCTWC/Governance Docs/. Nine pages. Adopted December 4, 2024.

Next step for the Commission: put this folder in the Shared Google Drive so it survives any one person, and link it from the new-commissioner welcome packet.

📁 Where these live

Local paths are relative to the Commission's shared folder. Anything marked MISSING is a gap worth closing — a resource nobody can find is a resource the Commission does not have.

Compliance & Records

Arizona's Open Meeting Law is the single biggest exposure for a public body — and a permanent record is the single best defense against turnover and lost institutional knowledge. This module keeps notices compliant, deadlines met, and every minute and motion preserved.

⚖️ Read this first: what commissioners may and may not do on this platform — and everywhere else.

This Command Center is a tool for a public body, and a public body has rules. We built it to make you faster AND to keep you lawful. Here is the whole picture, plainly.

1. What counts as a "meeting" (it is broader than you think)

Under A.R.S. § 38-431, a "meeting" is any exchange among a quorum where Commission business is discussed, proposed, deliberated, or moved toward a decision — in a room, on a call, by email, by text, or in a group chat. The medium does not matter. If a quorum is deliberating, it is a meeting, and it must be noticed and minuted.

2. Committees are public bodies too — there is NO "small group" loophole

The definition of "public body" in § 38-431(6) expressly includes committees and subcommittees. So an ad hoc committee is itself a public body with its own quorum (40% under our Bylaws, Art. VI §3). A committee may absolutely meet and work — but when its quorum discusses its business, that meeting must also be noticed and minuted.

Common misconception, corrected: "fewer than 8 commissioners can talk freely" is false. Eight is the full Commission's quorum. Each committee has its own, much smaller, quorum. What is genuinely unrestricted is one-to-one conversation below any committee's quorum, and pure logistics (dates, documents).

3. The two traps that catch good commissioners

🔴 The reply-all trapAn email discussing business that lands in front of a quorum (8) is an illegal meeting — no notice, no agenda, no minutes.
🔴 The serial / "splinter" trapYou email three; one forwards to three more; those forward again. No single email hit 8, but the conversation did, one hop at a time. Arizona treats this daisy-chain as a serial meeting — and it is a violation, even if you never cc'd a quorum yourself.

4. What each part of THIS platform is — and is not — for

Feature✅ Use it for❌ Never use it for
AnnouncementsOne-way, informational — logistics, wins, links to posted documents, "the venue is booked." Posted under your own sign-in.Opinions on anything that could come to a vote · proposals · "thoughts?" · counting heads. There are no polls, comments, reactions or private posts — by design.
Design GallerySeeing every version of a design in one place.Choosing one. A design is selected by motion at a noticed meeting.
Open Seats slateNominating Chair and officers tracking candidate status.Ranking or debating candidates outside a Nominating meeting.
Email CampaignsOne-way outreach to the public and partners.A back-channel among commissioners to decide anything.
CalendarScheduling; posting the public agenda link.A place to "quietly agree" on an outcome before the meeting.
Secretary's ConsoleDrafting the official minutes from a properly noticed meeting.—

The one-line rule for everything here: this platform is for informing and organizing, never for deciding. Decisions happen in a noticed meeting, on the record.

5. When you're unsure, ask before you send

Ask the Chair, or the City Clerk's Boards & Commissions office ((520) 791-4213, BoardsandCommissions@tucsonaz.gov). On anything consequential, the Commission confirms with the Pima County Attorney or the Tucson City Attorney. This page is informational, not legal advice.

6. Everyday tools — Signal, text and email

UseVerdict
"Which date works for the October meeting?" — the Chair or Secretary asks; everyone replies only to her✅ Logistics — OK
"Running late," "room changed," a link to a posted document✅ Informational — OK
Opinions or feedback on event decisions (vendor, budget, program, design, honorees) in a group with a quorum of the Commission or of any committee❌ That is a meeting — put it on the agenda
One member posting "I propose we…" to the group❌ A violation even if nobody replies (§ 38-431(4)(b))
Polls, 👍 reactions to proposals, forwarding one group's messages to another❌ Positions shared outside a meeting
Disappearing messages on any group used for Commission business❌ Turn off — these are public records (A.R.S. § 38-421; AG Op. I17-004)

7. Acceptable Use — what you agree to at first sign-in

  1. This is a public-records system. Assume anything you post can be read by the public.
  2. Share facts, logistics, documents and announcements — not opinions on items that could come to a vote.
  3. No polls, votes, rankings, "thoughts?" or "can we agree" posts — here or in group texts.
  4. Committee business is discussed only in noticed committee meetings.
  5. Proposals go to the Chair for the agenda, not to this platform.
  6. If you have a financial interest in a topic, disclose it and stay out of it.
The spirit of it — and why it protects you These rules can feel like friction in an era of instant tools. They are not there to slow the Commission down — they are there so the public can see its own government work, and so no commissioner is ever accused of deciding in the dark. Used well, this platform lets you collaborate faster and stand behind every decision. That is the whole point.

This is informational and not legal advice. The Commission should have the City Clerk or County Attorney brief the full body once — and this instruction should be read by every new commissioner as part of onboarding.

Regular meetings: Full Commission — 1st Wednesday of each month, 6:00 PM, 240 N. Court Ave. (City Clerk 2026 posting statement)

🏗️ Ad hoc committees — what they must do — the same law, at committee scale

Short answer to the question everyone asks Yes — an ad hoc committee must post a public notice and agenda at least 24 hours before it meets (not within 24 hours after), it must meet in the open, and it must keep minutes and make them public. An ad hoc committee is a public body in its own right (A.R.S. § 38-431(6) names committees and subcommittees; Bylaws Art. VIII §1: "all committees are subject to the Arizona Open Meeting Law").

🔐 Commissioner Access & Sign-In where the roster of record lives

Access is controlled by the pctwc_commissioners table in the database. A commissioner marked seated or pending can sign in as herself; there is no shared password. Commissioners' personal emails and phone numbers are not stored in this page — they load from the database only after sign-in.

To seat or remove a commissioner, an officer updates her row in the database (Authentication → Users for the invite, then pctwc_commissioners for access). No code change is needed.

Committees

Grounded in the Bylaws adopted December 4, 2024 (Art. VIII) and Arizona Open Meeting Law (A.R.S. § 38-431).

⚠️ Technically, PCTWC has only ONE standing committee — the Executive Committee.

Under Art. VIII §1, every other committee is an ad hoc committee: "formed for a specific purpose and for a limited time period. When the specific task has been completed, the ad hoc committee will be disbanded." The seven groups below are operating as if they were standing committees. That is a good thing, not a bad one — it means you can restructure them without amending the bylaws.

This is the restructure the Commission talked about. Nothing changes until the full Commission votes on it at a properly noticed meeting (simple majority, Art. VIII §1 and Art. VI §5). Until then, the Current Committee Structure tab is the one in force.

How committees are created, merged or disbanded

Because all non-Executive committees are ad hoc (Art. VIII §1), the full Commission can create, merge or disband them by simple majority at any properly noticed meeting. A 2/3 bylaws amendment is only needed if you want to write a standing committee into the bylaws themselves.

Website & Social

📱 Website & social media — the recurring wound

✅ Good news the Commission may not have absorbed: PCTWC.org was purchased.

📡 Channels

📌 Strategy on the record

🧰 Why merge tech, management and communications.

Right now these tools are held by different people, in different accounts, with no owner — which is exactly how the Commission lost its Gmail, its old domain, and its Facebook page. The proposal is to convert the Website/Social (Tech) Committee into a Marketing & Development Committee: one group owning brand, web, social, fundraising and data — "from reactive maintenance to impact, monitoring and action."

💰 Valuation & property tax

Assessor Full Cash Value has swung with the adobe's condition; land holds steady at $69,000. The Commission is not fully exempt — it carries a large partial charitable exemption and pays a modest bill (fully paid, $0 balance).

2026$184,570—
2027$189,240—

🏷️ Historic designation — what would we actually save?

Modest. Current property tax is only ~$527/year because the charitable exemption already does the heavy lifting (a fully-taxable commercial bill would run ~$3,000–$3,700). Re-applying for Arizona's historic classification (the Class 6/7 that expired in 2014) would trim only a slice of that ~$527 — likely under a few hundred dollars.

The real value of re-designating is not tax — it's grant eligibility (SHPO, Arizona Heritage Fund, National Trust), legal protection, and prestige for the 50th. Historic tax reclassification becomes financially important mainly if the building is rented out for income — that can jeopardize the charitable exemption and push the full bill (~$3,000+) onto the roll, at which point the historic ratio reduction matters.

Confirm the exemption/historic interaction with the Pima County Assessor's Valuation Relief team: (520) 724-7500. (Not tax advice — verify before relying on it.)

✅ Open action items — status & route each; notes save to this browser

  • Records request — City Clerk for the 2000 conveyance ordinance + any deed stipulations/reverter & council vote (draft ready in the Gift brief).
  • Call the Assessor — (520) 724-7500 to confirm the exemption and the real historic-reclassification savings.
  • Insurance check — confirm coverage at replacement value (~$600K), not the ~$189K assessed value (adobe costs far more to rebuild).
  • Historic re-designation — re-apply for the AZ historic classification; pursue SHPO / Heritage Fund preservation grants.
  • Adobe conditions — update the assessment (2000 report flagged moisture) and a phased preservation plan.
  • Official naming / landmark — petition Mayor & Council to make "Women's Heritage Building" (or similar) official at the 50th.

✅ Where it stands — verified current

"Pima County–Tucson Women's Commission, Inc.," EIN 86-0708408 is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) since Dec 1992 and is currently in good standing: it appears on the IRS Publication 78 list (donors may rely on it for deductibility), with Deductibility Code PC (Public Charity), and has filed Form 990-N (e-Postcard) e­very year through tax year 2024 (2013–2019, 2021–2024). No IRS auto-revocation.

It switched from the 990-EZ to the 990-N e-Postcard (for small orgs under $50,000 gross receipts) after 2013 — which is why third-party sites that only track 990/990-EZ made it look dormant. It is not. It is a live, usable vehicle for tax-deductible gifts.

🔒 Keep it current (light lift)

  • File the 990-N e-Postcard every year — due by the 15th day of the 5th month after year-end. Miss three years in a row and status is auto-revoked. (One missed year — e.g., 2020 — is not fatal.)
  • Keep the AZ Corporation Commission annual report current (ecorp.azcc.gov) so the corporation stays Active.
  • If gross receipts ever exceed $50,000, step up to the 990-EZ/990.
  • Donations via ActBlue Charities are also covered — ActBlue Charities is itself a 501(c)(3) conduit and issues the tax receipt, so those gifts are deductible regardless.

💳 Donation processing: ActBlue Charities vs. doing it ourselves

The Commission currently takes online gifts through ActBlue Charities (secure.actblue.com/donate/pima-county-tucson-women-s-commission-inc--1). ActBlue Charities is itself a 501(c)(3) conduit — it collects, issues the tax receipt, and grants funds to the Commission. Since we also hold our own valid 501(c)(3), we are not dependent on it for deductibility. The real question is cost, control, and optics.

OptionFee per giftNet on $100
ActBlue Charities (current)3.95% flat · no monthly/setup fee$96.05
Stripe (nonprofit rate)2.2% + $0.30$97.50
PayPal (nonprofit rate)1.99% + $0.49$97.52
Givebutter (all-in-one)$0 platform+processing when donor tips are on; else 3% + Stripeup to $100
Zeffy (all-in-one)0% platform AND covers card processing — funded by an optional donor tip; org keeps 100%$100.00
ActBlue Charities — pros
  • Turnkey — no merchant account, no PCI burden.
  • ActBlue Charities issues the tax receipt (offloads acknowledgment compliance).
  • Recurring gifts + saved-info express checkout → higher conversion.
  • No monthly or setup fee; good reporting/CSV export.
ActBlue Charities — cons
  • 3.95% — the highest fee of these options.
  • Partisan-brand optics for a public commission (see flag below).
  • Receipts run through ActBlue Charities' EIN, not ours — gifts build their donor file, and we receive a grant rather than the gift direct.
  • Disbursement lag; dependency on a third party under political/regulatory scrutiny.
Do-it-ourselves — pros
  • Lower fees (Stripe/PayPal nonprofit; Givebutter can be ~$0 via tips).
  • Neutral, nonpartisan brand — right for a government body.
  • Receipts & donor data under our own 501(c)(3) EIN — cleaner for grants and builds our own donor base.
  • Funds deposit directly to the Commission's bank.
Do-it-ourselves — cons
  • Setup + ongoing admin falls on the Treasurer (capacity is thin).
  • We must issue our own written acknowledgments (IRS requires for gifts ≥ $250).
  • Some platforms add a platform fee or a learning curve.
⚠️ The optics flag (most important for a public body)

"ActBlue" is widely identified with Democratic political fundraising (it processed ~$1B for the 2024 Democratic ticket and is under political/regulatory scrutiny). ActBlue Charities is a legally separate 501(c)(3), but the brand association is real: our donation URL and every receipt say "ActBlue." For a body that must be — and must appear — nonpartisan, that is an appearance-of-partisanship risk a critic could exploit. This is arguably a bigger consideration than the fee.

🧭 Senior Advisor take

At our volume (under $50k/yr) the fee gap is small in dollars — a few dollars per $100. So cost is not the deciding factor. The two things that matter are (1) nonpartisan optics for a government commission and (2) owning our donor data and receipts under our own EIN.

My lean: move to a neutral, nonprofit-branded platform under our own 501(c)(3). Zeffy is the strongest fit — genuinely 100% free (0% platform and it covers card processing; funded by an optional donor tip), nonpartisan, all-in-one (donations, events, memberships, recurring), issues receipts under our EIN, and payouts land in our bank. Givebutter is a close second. Keep ActBlue only if the board specifically values its turnkey simplicity and is comfortable with the brand.

Zeffy's one trade-off: it makes its money from an optional donor "tip" shown at checkout — so a donor giving $100 may be prompted to add a bit on top. We keep 100% either way, but set the default tip modestly so it doesn't put donors off, and know it's a newer/smaller company than Stripe or PayPal. This is a board decision — bring it as an options memo, not a fait accompli.

Note: "Friends of the Tucson Women's Commission" was the fundraising name launched in 1984; the entity of record is "Pima County–Tucson Women's Commission, Inc." Sources: IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (apps.irs.gov/app/eos), verified 08/2026 — Pub 78 = Yes, Code PC, 990-N filed through 2024; ActBlue pricing (3.95%); Stripe/PayPal/Givebutter published nonprofit rates.

Operations

Finances, banking, and the Women's Heritage Building. Every figure is from the minutes and Treasurer's reports (Aug 2023 – Sep 2026; latest: the Aug–Sep 2026 Treasurer's report in the Oct 7 packet). Account numbers are never stored here — they live in the Commission's secure record.

💰 Cash position — checking and savings, Aug 2023 → Sep 2026

💡 The idle savings — and what the June 3 minutes changed. Updated from the recovered May & June 2026 minutes

⚠️ Correction first. The $33,248 figure on this dashboard came from the November 2025 Treasurer's report — the newest one I could read. The May and June 2026 minutes were unreadable (May was a scanned image with no text layer; June had been misfiled). They are recovered now, and the picture has moved:

As ofCheckingSavingsTotal
Nov 2025—$33,248.30—
Apr 30, 2026total cash$36,655.60
May 31, 2026$13,825.88$23,265.50$37,091.38

✅ And the Commission is already on it. The June 3 minutes record that the Commission's own banker suggested opening a higher-yield savings account. This is not an idea nobody has had — it is a live recommendation awaiting a decision. The point stands: ~$23,000 earning near-nothing is roughly $900/year left on the table at a 4% money market. But credit where it is due — Molly Ring surfaced it before anyone on this dashboard did.

⚠️ One real risk in how it was routed

The minutes say: "Kim suggested bringing it up with the Executive Commission by email first."

Be careful here. Under A.R.S. § 38-431, a quorum of a public body discussing that body's business by email IS a meeting — and it requires posted notice and minutes. An email thread among a quorum of the Executive Committee, deciding where the Commission's money goes, is exactly the fact pattern the Open Meeting Law was written for.

The safe path: circulate information by email (the banker's options, the rates) — but take the discussion and the decision to a noticed meeting. Same outcome, no exposure.

✅ What May 6 already fixed

Signature authority is repaired. On May 6 the Commission voted 10–0 to remove Cathy Bosch as a primary signer on the Vantage West accounts and add Molly Ring. Earlier versions of this dashboard warned that money could not move — that is no longer true.

D&O insurance is in place — Mahoney Group, $536/year, $5,000 deductible, $3M aggregate.

Alternate Treasurer seated (Oct 2026): Roberta Vance now fills the Alternate Treasurer seat the Bylaws require (Art. VII §1). Next step: confirm whether she is added as a signer on the Vantage West accounts.

Sources: Treasurer's reports, minutes of May 6, 2026 (recovered by OCR) and June 3, 2026. Not financial advice — confirm with the County what the Commission is permitted to do with these funds.

🧭 Recommendation — move online donations to a free, nonpartisan platformTask

We currently take gifts through ActBlue Charities (3.95% fee). As a nonpartisan public commission, the brand optics of "ActBlue" and the fee both argue for a switch. Our own 501(c)(3) is verified current (IRS Pub 78, Code PC), so we can receipt gifts under our own EIN.

Recommended: move to Zeffy — genuinely 100% free (0% platform + it covers card processing; funded by an optional donor tip), neutral brand, all-in-one, receipts + donor data under our EIN. Givebutter is a close second. Set Zeffy's donor-tip default modestly to avoid friction.

Full fee comparison, pros/cons, and the optics analysis live in the 501(c)(3) Status tab. (Not legal/tax advice — confirm current terms.)

📉 Balances over time — and the drop nobody flagged

Total cash fell from $45,774 (Nov 2025) to $32,009 (Feb 2026), largely the $10,500 repaint. The Aug–Sep 2026 Treasurer's report shows $34,487 (checking $11,205 · savings $23,282), after the 50th Anniversary event.

🎯 Budget vs. actual (YTD, Treasurer's report Aug–Sep 2026)

✅ Finance tasks

✅ Alternate Treasurer: Roberta Vance
✅ The Alternate Treasurer seat is filled.

The June 2026 retreat listed "need alternate treasurer" as a standing weakness. As of October 2026, Roberta Vance is Alternate Treasurer and serves on the Executive Committee and Finance & Operations with Treasurer Molly Ring. Still to confirm: whether she is a signer on the bank accounts, so money can move if the Treasurer is unavailable.

✅ Banking tasks

Account and routing numbers are deliberately not stored in this tool. Keep them in the Commission's secure record with the Treasurer and Chair.

🏛️ The building is the Commission's largest asset — and nobody has valued it.

No appraisal appears anywhere in three years of minutes. The Commission is making $35,000 painting decisions and weighing a property manager without knowing what the asset is worth. Enter an estimate below if you have one — but the real action item is: get an appraisal.

Not from the minutes — this is yours to fill in.

🏢 Rental activity — and the empty offices

Three tenants pay $2,110/month. Two offices sit vacant. At a comparable rate those two would add roughly $1,550/month — about $18,600/year, which alone would nearly fund the interior paint in two years.

🔨 Improvements — must-do vs. nice-to-have

Split honestly. Red = safety, compliance or asset protection — deferring these costs more later. Gray = wanted, not needed.

Baseline is drawn from the minutes: rent $2,110/mo, the $23–$99/mo website, the reported YTD figures, and known insurance/utility costs. Edit any line — it saves as you type. This is a working draft for the Treasurer, not an adopted budget.

Partners CRM — Top 25 from the digitized 2013 Resource Guide

Pre-loaded with the priority women's & girls organizations from the original 2013 PCTWC Resource Guide, with current-verified links. This is the seed for the Commission-in-a-Box CRM (reuses your FFH CRM · Organizations view). Status reflects a 2026 verification pass.

💰 Money in play with these partners — live from the Fundraising pipeline

This is the same pipeline you manage on the Fundraising tab — one source of truth, two views. Move a card there and it changes here.

Sourced from PCTWC_2013_Directory (66 orgs total). "Verify" = current contact still to be confirmed; "Renamed" = active under a new name; "Inactive" = 2013 site defunct. The full 66-org directory and the UA campus cluster load in the full CRM.

Public Sector Directory — our appointing authorities & the regional table

These are the people who appoint our commissioners, hold our 5 vacant seats, and receive our advice. Verified against official .gov sources July 2026. This is also the seed of the Public Sector CRM for TEAM Up Greater Tucson — see the note at the bottom.

📌 Boards & Commissions — where our appointments actually run

🏛️ Officials

🗺️ The wider region — Pima Association of Governments

PAG's nine-member Regional Council is the table where every jurisdiction in the region sits: Pima County, Tucson, South Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, the Tohono O'odham Nation, the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, and the State Transportation Board. If a women's-and-girls agenda is going to move regionally rather than just in the city, these are the nine seats it has to reach.

🌎 Why this lives here: the Public Sector CRM.

Built for PCTWC's immediate need — filling 5 vacant seats and knowing who to ask — but structured to become the Public Sector CRM and Chamber of Health Directory for TEAM Up Greater Tucson. Each record carries a jurisdiction, a role, a term, and a contact path, so the same schema scales from one commission to every jurisdiction in the PAG region.

Next layer to capture: the remaining PAG member governments' councils (Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, South Tucson), the tribal nations' governing bodies, Pima County department heads, City department directors, and the other City/County boards and commissions — the sister bodies whose agendas overlap ours.

Sources are official .gov / .com sites, linked on each card. Public officials' published office contacts only — no personal information. Officeholders change: re-verify against the linked source before any formal outreach.

🗳️ Secretary's Console

Run a meeting from one screen: roll call with live quorum, guests, motions, votes (voice or roll call), and a Zoom transcript import that turns into draft minutes in Word. It works for the full Commission and for every committee.

Design Gallery — every version in one place; chosen at a meeting

Put each version of a banner, poster, program or graphic here so every commissioner can see it before the meeting. There are no ratings or winners on this page, on purpose.

How a design gets chosen

The Chair places "Select the [design]" on a posted agenda as an action item. The Commission — or a committee the Commission has authorized — votes on it in the meeting, and the Secretary records the motion. Please don't share preferences here or in group texts: ratings from a quorum are a decision made outside a meeting (A.R.S. § 38-431).

Projects & Budget — committee-level planning, tasks, and the money

Every project belongs to a committee and (usually) an event. Tasks have an owner and a due date; budget lines have an estimate and what we actually spent. The 50th Celebration is loaded as a worked example — food, printing, venue, the banner.

Budget shows estimate vs. actual, so an overrun is visible while there's still time to fix it — not after the invoice lands. Treasurer's view: the total committed against approved budget is the top-line number Molly needs at each meeting.
