Convention planning

Some of the most fun I've ever had, and at the same time one of the hardest and longest projects. Planning the 1994 Annual Gathering of US/Canadian Mensa was a bear of a task: several years in planning, working with an all-volunteer committee from 3 local chapters throughout New England and reporting to the American Mensa board of directors on progress and problems. We had multiple hotel contracts, 3 banquets at our main hotel, a 24-hour hospitality suite that served up "Mensa style" hospitality (food and drink), trips and tours with a local tour company, volunteer led trips to Boston area sights, bus transportation arranged to run between our main and spillover hotels. We had multiple program tracks with speakers on just about any topic imaginable along with Mensa leadership tracks. It was amazing, it was exhausting, it was a high point! Along with that "big" deal, I've worked with my husband as chair or co-chair for many smaller, local Mensa "gatherings." And continue working with the Mensa annual gatherings in organizing a craft show for members each year.
