Local Secretary (LocSec)

Jane Gmur

Jane joined Mensa in 1995. For the first year she showed the good sense to limit her activity to attending SIGs and other events. Then she volunteered for the Mensaphone and has been almost continuously active since, serving as second vice-secretary, Mensagenda production manager, Mensagenda editor, Mensagenda calendar editor, InterLoc editor, 2003 AG registrar, and scholarship coordinator. She started the Let’s Do Lunch! SIG, which meets in downtown Minneapolis but was sad to hand over leadership when she started working at Minnesota Public Radio in St. Paul. [The picture on the left is a very good likeness. Well, her hair is about that color.] Jane was cursed with a face that doesn’t photograph well — every picture looks like a driver’s license picture. And the driver’s license picture is worse.

Past LocSec

Paul Jensen

1st Vice

Karen Cyson

2nd Vice

Richard Lee

A magazine ad leaped off its page in 1994, challenging Richard with test scores he was sure were below his. On a whim, he submitted his scores to Mensa and received an offer of membership, answering the age-old question of "Why do people believe I think weirdly?" Richard was Area Coordinator for Southeast Minnesota, is now Area Coordinator for Western Wisconsin and was RG Chair for Back in the Future! in September 2007. Appointed as 2nd Vice-Sec in October 2007, Richard is in pursuit of new SIGs, working to increase attendance at events and to meliorate member retention.
