The Nuts and Bolts of ExComm
A Mensa Leadership Development Workshop
Several Local Groups in the Heartland Region saw significant changes in their leadership teams in 2017-2018. To bring the new officers up to speed, in June and July we held a pair of workshops, one on the east side and the other on the west side of our stretched-out geography. In total, twenty-six Mensans from eleven Local Groups participated in sessions based on this set of materials.
