Timmy King’s Candidate Overview

 

Hi and thanks for visiting my candidate page. 
Between now and April 15th I will post a plethora of opinions about American Mensa.

 

 

My goals for this page are simple:

1.    Encourage you to vote in the Mensa election.

2.    Convince you that I would be the best candidate for Chairperson.

 

Over the next 45 days I will post a series of position papers on topics important to American Mensa.  I strongly encourage you to challenge everything I say.  If I am unclear, please call me out. 

The first position paper is about our financial situation.  A matter, about which, I am quite passionate.

This will soon be followed by papers on our membership problems, communications issues, codes of conduct, and anything you think needs discussing.

Together we can accomplish wonderful things.

 

Overview

If you want things to stay the same, then you should vote for the same people to keep doing the same things they have done for a very long time.
I hope to convince you that we need a new direction, we need change.

Our current chairperson has served two terms. 
In that time:

·         We have seen a continuous decline in membership, expenses have increased, and annual dues have increased.
The #1 reason that people leave American Mensa is that they are not getting enough value for their investment.

·         Our overall financial situation has gone from very, very bad to something that is even worse.
Under her guidance, the AMC removed the only reference to the problem in our ASIE’s.

·         The AMC, our leaders, seem fixated on internal bickering.
