Region 6 Report

By Dan Wilterding

Hello Region 6,
Contents
Next month the AMC will meet again, this time in Charlottesville, Virginia during the Jefferson Country RG.

Although the agenda has not yet been set some topics are sure to arise. Already in the works is a discussion (debate?) concerning the relationship of American Mensa to the various national SIGs -- should we embrace them, providing resources, guidance and support or should we distance ourselves farther and cut down, constrain or eliminate official interaction and publicity?

Both aspects are grounded in risk management concerns, both views have outspoken proponents and opponents. Whatever comes about, chances are that the organizational relationship with SIGs will not be the same in 2-4 years. Pity; I'd just as soon see things stay as they are, but I seem to be in a minority.

The Risk Management Committee is scheduled to present formal recommendations for changes in policy or structure in the relationships between AML and the SIGS, AML and local groups, and AML and children (members and guests).{The previous sentence is taken/adapted from the December '03 Mini-Minutes}.

I'll know and be able to report more after that presentation; the March AMC agenda will be available on or about February 20 -- please look it over and let me know what you think.


Keeping track of things Mensa fashion... Did you ever change your name or move and not get your newsletter or Bulletin for way too long? Have you ever changed your phone number or email address and wondered why you quit getting calls from the local group?

If so, could it be that you forgot to update your Personal Data Questionnaire (PDQ)? The PDQ goes out with renewals every year and provide an easy way to keep your information and preferences up to date; it's also available online at http://www.us.mensa.org . Please take the time (just a few moments) to make sure that your contact info is current.
