Mid-America Mensa (MAM) received some well-deserved recognition during the recent 2024-2025 Mensa National Awards. In Class II, MAM was awarded an EMERALD for a variety of its activities and accomplishments – which are points we earned as the whole local group. Basically, groups can earn points for “active participation in all that Mensa has to offer to positively impact the experience of the local group members.†The award was the culmination of points earned during the fiscal year just completed for April 2024 – March 2025. For more about how points are earned see: Jewel Awards Criteria.
Awards like this one from American Mensa are like a precious gemstone because they show a degree of bright, active participation and glowing vitality that are so greatly needed by a living, breathing social organization. We have achieved the EMERALD level of recognition after years with a SAPPHIRE award which may somewhat indicate a stable core group of members who are seeking to build the story of Mid-America Mensa with a high level of service to MAM’s members. We plan to continue fostering the growth of our entire membership through local scholarships, many social activities, and intellectually stimulating events (e.g., Cabin Fever – our Regional Gathering – early next year). Truly, we like each other well enough to stick around with each other. Belonging to MAM continues to be well spent time by our growing membership. So, congratulations are due to Mid-America Mensa for winning an American Mensa EMERALD award!
