Tulsa Women’s Commission discusses Pinnacle Awards logistics, ticketing and volunteer outreach
Summary
Commission members reviewed needs for the Pinnacle Awards event, including requested donations, ticketing arrangements, and volunteer tabling for upcoming community events; members agreed to coordinate sign‑ups and dropped off items through the YWCA
Commission members discussed logistics for the upcoming Pinnacle Awards and other community events, including donation requests and ticketing arrangements, and agreed to coordinate sign‑ups and drop‑off points.
A staff member summarized items requested by the event organizers: restaurant gift certificates, beauty services (massage, esthetician), a hotel stay package, theater tickets and bottles of wine — the group said the event requested multiple donated bottles. The transcript shows a staff speaker noting the suggestion that donated bottles be at least a $15 value. Members were asked to drop donations at the YWCA and to contact Marissa Lewis for coordination.
Commissioners also discussed ticket costs and seating. One member noted that prior years included a mayoral table and that the mayor’s table for this year had already been accounted for. Members said the event’s pricing has risen and that individual commission members may need to buy seats; commissioners volunteered to check whether there are discounted options or donated seats available. One commissioner offered extra seats at her table to other members.
Separately, members announced tabling and speaking plans for other events. The commission will table at an “Equal Payday” event on March 14 from 5 to 7 p.m.; members were invited to help staff that table and to hear presentations about the commission’s child care work. The commission also highlighted volunteer opportunities tied to the awards event and encouraged members to coordinate via the commission’s outreach contact.
Members made several brief announcements: a commissioner announced that Early Learning Works by Tulsa Educare had received an Oklahoma Partnership for School Readiness grant to support child‑care providers and infrastructure improvements; another member announced a women’s month exhibition at Royce Meyer Gallery and invited commissioners to attend. A staff reminder closed the item: two commissioners who missed February need to sign an oath of office form to be filed.
