- Mensa "insiders" are people who do anything on the behalf of Mensa. Sponsor
- a calendar event in their local group's newsletter, do gifted children stuff,
- help feed attendees at Regional Gatherings, anything.
-
- To become an "insider" all you have to do is to become involved.
-
- You get to meet all sorts of interesting and new people you wouldn't have
- met any other way and eventually you get to field accusations from people
- who don't like to lift a finger that you're part of an "insider clique"
- that's closed and impossible to join and scares away new members! (Fun, huh?)
