doings of the national and other committees, and other subjects of
interest to the members.
A complete membership list is published annually, and is available
to each member at little cost. Some local groups issue more detailed
directories. Through these many members have found employment or useful
business contacts. Mensa helps its members to help each other.
Mensa's Political, Ideological and Religious Aims: Mensa has
none. Members are selected by an objective criterion, not for adherence
to any view. Mensa, a collection of all kinds of able people, represents
all views, so, as a whole, Mensa can have no corporate views. Individuals
and groups within Mensa, of course, have pretty vociferous opinions.
Policy: Mensa aims to include intelligent people of every opinion
and calling. Therefore:
| 1. |
No opinion is expressed as being that of Mensa; individual members
or groups within Mensa have many opinions but Mensa itself, as a
whole, has no opinion. |
| 2. |
Nothing is done in the name of Mensa that may alienate or exclude
people of any shade of opinion. |
| 3. |
No political action is taken by Mensa beyond the publication of
its findings. |
| 4. |
Mensa has no political or religious affiliations, nor does it
discriminate of race, creed, sex, class, age or educational level. |
| 5. |
Mensa is not concerned with making money. It is a non-profit organization. |
Obligations of Members:
| 1. |
To pay their annual dues or provide a satisfactory reason for
their failure to do so. |
| 2. |
To permit the use of their names in a printed list. |
| 3. |
To answer confidential postal surveys. |
