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.
