Peachy,
Good intro provided by LaundryHater. Saying "Good Morning," then pausing will let everyone it's time to begin. You may want to repeat that after you have their attention. Depending on when you introduce the head table (see notes below), you may want to wait to introduce yourself.
At our IAAP convention the officers and those seated at the head table are introduced first, then the Chair recognizes guests. Not sure in your case if the head table should be introduced first. I'm still checking into that one, but my first thought would be to introduce them first (this may take care of most of your introductions). "At this time I would like to introduce those seated at the head table -- to my far right", etc. - then, "to my far left...blah, blah, blah,...and I am JusPeachy, (and title).
The order of your introductions seems appropriate with the highest ranking official first. According to Letitia Baldrige, you can introduce the congressman either by "The Honorable" or by using his title "(U.S.) Congressman John Jones."
Also not sure about the guest speaker unless he is at the head table. If he is going to be introduced later in the program, I'm not sure about recognizing him as a special guest.
Depending on how many women from the women's groups, I might introduce the main representative and indicate that she has several members with her and ask them to stand.
Once you have introduced the VIPs and made your welcome, you could say, "It is now my priviledge to welcome Gen Smith to the lecturn."
