A note From our Northwest Florida Mensa Local Group VP, Nancy Heller and the rest of the Executive Committee.
We have a marvelous Mensa chapter, and we want to make it better. A number of important positions in our local group are unfilled or otherwise in need of volunteers. We welcome all members who would like to become more involved in NWFM, or who want to contribute to our growth and stability as a chapter, to apply for any of the following:
Membership Officer: “The Membership Officer shall be responsible for contact with new and prospective members and recruitment programs.” (Bylaws.)
Editor or Assistant Editor (current Editor will train you!): “The Editor shall edit the newsletter. The Editor shall publish notices of meetings and programs, required ballots, results of business meetings and elections, amendments to the bylaws and related discussions and ballots, the semi-annual financial reports, and shall prepare and publish Post Office forms if required. “ (Bylaws.) Please note that our printer now deals with all of the Post Office forms, so the Editor does not need to.
Webmaster: Maintain and periodically update the existing NWFM website (https://nwflorida.us/index.html).
Gifted Youth Coordinator. Follow this link for information about what this position entails: https://www.us.mensa.org/lead/localgroupresources/gyc-resources/gifted-youth-coordinator-101/
It is not necessary to attend in person meetings (which are usually fun social gatherings with a little meeting in the middle) to undertake any of the above positions. All of these positions require a modest amount of computer literacy.
Per our bylaws, “All officers, whether elected or appointed, must be current members in good standing of AML; an officer is defined as any person who is given a title with specific responsibilities. All voting members of the ExComm must also be current members in good standing of Northwest Florida Mensa.”
If you would like to apply for any of these positions, or if you would just like more information about any of them, please contact me, Local group Vice President Nancy Heller, at jeannep1980-mensa@yahoo.com or call me at 216-396-8154.
We are also considering holding an RG (Regional Gathering) sometime in the next two years. The Valentime RG ran for over 10 years, in February, then our hotel was torn down! Please contact me if you are interested in helping to put on a big party in the relatively near future.
