Region 5 Leadership Development Workshop
November 19-21, 2010
Piedmont Area Mensa is hosting a Region 5 Leadership Development
Workshop (LDW) the weekend of November 19-21, 2010 in
Greenville, SC. An LDW is like a Regional Gathering (RG) with
all programs designed to help attendees with their Mensa
responsibilities and prepare others to become officers. It is
also an opportunity for officers to network with their
counterparts from other groups. The purpose of Mensa Leadership
Development is threefold:
To provide a standardized course of training
appropriate for new, existing and potential officers.
To increase members’ knowledge and understanding
of Mensa.
To inspire new volunteers.
Registration for the LDW will be free, although everyone must
register in advance as space will be limited to about forty
registrants. All meals will also be free. Travel to and from
the LDW and overnight accommodations are the responsibility of
the participant, although your local group may choose to pay
part or all of these costs if it has funds available.
The topics that will be covered are:
Welcoming New Members - Dave Remine, Former
Chair of American Mensa and International Mensa
