RVChat - July 2007
by Lori Norris

Thank you to all of you who voted for me in the election.  Special thanks to my husband, Ron, for his past support and his future indulgence in the time this position will involve.  I will do my best to serve Region 1 on the AMC.  8.6% of Region 1 Mensans voted in this year’s election, the largest participation rate of all the regions.

As I write this, I am looking forward to the Birmingham AG.  This will be my third AG, but only second in the US (I attended the Quebec City AG a few years ago).  I hope to see many of you there.  When I’m not at AMC meetings, trainings, etc. you will probably find me in hospitality or the games room. 

For those of you who know me or have been following my campaign, you know that I have been very involved in several Region 1 local groups over the past 17 years and have held various elected and appointed positions locally. 

I have been working with Rhode Island Mensa in the early planning stages of a Leadership Development Workshop (“LDW”) to be held in spring 2008.  I attended my first LDW in Connecticut in 2004.  I meet many energetic volunteers from other groups and many have become wonderful friends.  To participate in the needs analysis survey visit RIM’s website (www.rhodeisland.us.mensa.org).

Please feel free to communicate with me about your concerns, ideas and/or suggestions.
