Mid-America Mensa (MAM) received some well-deserved recognition during the 2024 American Mensa Annual Awards. In Class II (400-1099 members), MAM was awarded a RUBY for a variety of its activities and accomplishments – earned by the whole local group all together. Basically, local 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 2023 – March 2024.

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 like Mid-America Mensa. We had received the SAPPHIRE level of recognition in several earlier and recent fiscal years, but we have now been awarded the RUBY level which perhaps indicates a very solid and accomplished core group of members who continue to build Mid-America Mensa’s story with a high level of commitment and service. MAM has shown and has benefitted by “a consistent infusion of new members, participation in different programs, and remaining active and involved at various volunteer levels – all positive signs of a strong chapter that is engaging its members.†We continue to foster the growth of our local scholarship program, we encourage our members to participate at a higher level (with American Mensa, for example), and we provide many, vital social opportunities by hosting local activities and events throughout the year. Belonging to MAM continues to be time well spent by our members; so, congratulations to Mid-America Mensa for winning this AML local group jewel award!
