Missouri Ozark Mensa
Missouri Ozark Mensa was founded for the fellowship and personal growth for its members, and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and common interests. To these ends, we organize regularly scheduled activities. We offer simple family events, including picnics and country walks. Several monthly luncheons and dinners provide fellowship and conversation over a meal. We offer the stimulation of our games nights, and large conferences and educational events. We have a variety of activities for all types of personalities, a comprehensive list with descriptions is on the Activities Page with the full monthly schedule on the Calendar Page
Members also participate in Special Interest Groups (SIGs) with activities targeted to a specific personal interest. The first two Mensa SIGs were for the study of gifted children and investments, and now cover a broad range of interests, anthropology, art and music, age group specific groups (e.g., teens, GenX and Baby Boomers), motorcycles and bicycles, religion, mysteries, outdoor sports, websites and writing. We take an active interest in the needs of gifted children and work with local schools to provide educational support and social stimulation to these children and their families.
We also work with the Mensa Education and Research Foundation to submit candidates for their annual Scholarship Competition, information about which can be found on the Scholarships page.
We are a small chapter of American Mensa with a current membership of 85. Our membership comes from South West Missouri. We serve an area that includes the counties of Barry, Cedar, Christian, Dade, Dallas, Douglas, Hickory, Howell, Lawrence, MacDonald, Newton, Oregon, Oregon, Ozark, Polk, Stone, Taney, Webster, Wright, and portions of Benton, Jasper, Laclede, and Texas, which are displayed on the map below.
We are part of American Mensa, Region 7 (Heartland Region), which is coordinated by Regional Vice Chair Curt Krambeck. The Region 7 website has information about the Region and links to the other groups within Region 7.
Missouri Ozarks Mensa is governed by a Steering Committee of elected volunteers that meets monthly, generally during the first week of each month at an area restaurant or member's home. Steering Committee Officer elections happen each December for the following calendar year. There are also a number of volunteer positions held by members who want to be more involved with Missouri Ozarks Mensa. The Steering Committee Page has email links for these contacts, or you may contact us at the address at the top right of this page or use the Contact Us Page.
