IPC COMMUNITY 60 WINTER 2025 Deb Obitz (Technical Program Manager, Standards) I have several responsibili- ties for the event. I'm on the team that decides the statue design. Together with Teresa Rowe, we purchase the mate- rials to make the decorations. We set up the seating chart and worked with Kieron Roberson, Zenny Valianu, and Orsi Alis to fill the swag bags. We number and decorate the tables and put the statues and swag bags in place. During the reception, I work the red carpet with my fun sidekick Doug Sober to inter- view attendees as they enter the event. THE 2024 GOLDEN GNOMES Andres Ojalill (IPC Europe Representative) My role was to collect and count votes for Gnome's Choice Award, then get the winner's name into a secret envelope. It can't be leaked out before the public announcement on the stage. Chris Jorgensen (Director, Technology Transfer) I ordered swag bag items, created the awards envelopes and inserts, and escorted award presenters from their seats to the stage. Doug Sober (Director, Materials and ICE Engagement, Standards) I was honored to conduct video interviews on the red carpet with my cohort, the lovely Deb Obitz. Fran Fourcade (Manager, Electronics Technology Standards) I assembled the step-and-re- peat backdrops for both the red carpet and award picture cor- ner, helped escort some of the award presenters to the stage, and was then honored to pres- ent the Gnome Spirit Award.
