Minnesota Mensa Board of Directors
|
Local Secretary (LocSec)
|
Maggie Klinzman
|
I have been a member of Minnesota Mensa since December, 2003. I have not been as active as I wanted to be, in my early years. I worked at the State Fair Booth, attended First Friday gatherings, and went to Mind Games in Chicago. My participation level decreased when I went back to school to complete an MBA in Accounting, while working full time. Now that I am done with school, I look forward to being more involved in Mensa.
I have always been a ‘numbers person’ who could balance books with ease. My first job was that of a Full-Charge Bookkeeper. I have held various jobs but my interest always comes back to Accounting. I feel my diverse background would assist me in being a good Treasurer.
I will work to keep Mensa operating within the pre-set budget. I am familiar with audit principles and will maintain the documentation needed to meet audit requirements. I will maintain both paper documentation as well as tracking all transactions through Quicken. I will be prepared to provide the proper forms, and issue checks, at any Mensa gathering I attend. I plan on attending all the board meetings and First Friday gatherings. I am always easy to reach by both phone and e-mail and will return contacts within 48 hours.
Thank you for your support.

Jane joined Mensa in 1995. For the first year she showed the good sense to limit her activity to attending SIGs and other events. Then she volunteered for the Mensaphone and has been almost continuously active since, serving as second vice-secretary, Mensagenda production manager, Mensagenda editor, Mensagenda calendar editor, InterLoc editor, 2003 AG registrar, and scholarship coordinator. She started several SIGs, including Let’s Do Lunch!, and Science Fiction, both of which are currently active.

1st Vice

Karen Cyson
|
Karen Cyson joined Mensa in 1987 to prove to herself that she hadn't become
completely brain dead after having two children. She has been the Central
Minnesota coordinator for over a decade. In December 1998 she attended First
Friday for the first time and wrote about her experience, an endeavor which
quickly morphed into her monthly column, Partly Cloudy. In 2005 her column
won the national Non-Fiction Essay award at the Annual Gathering. Karen
lives in St. Cloud where she runs a child care, grows flowers, sews and
knits, and contemplates ruling the universe.

My Mensa journey started when my father wanted to prove that he was smarter. In the end, the scan tron test proved to be his downfall. I was the only one who actually got in. I am a transplant to the state of Minnesota and was recently voted the local board in April 2008 on a flip of a coin. The incumbent and I tied with an equal number of votes. The tiebreaker was a flip of a coin. So here I am.
