Awards
On Oct. 5, 1970, Marvin Grosswirth, chairman of the Public Relations
Committee, proposed that a "Mensan of the Year" award be presented
annually to the Mensan who had contributed most significantly to the
betterment of Mensa. The motion passed, and Arthur Merrill was
appointed as this newly-formed Award Committee's first
chairman.
Since that time, American Mensa and the Mensa Education and Research
Foundation have developed a number of award programs to recognize
members, Local Groups and scholarship recipients. We have Life
Membership awards, Group of the Year, the Copper Black Award for
Creativity and many others.
Today, American Mensa has a number of awards that recognize hard
work, knowledge and creativity. From community service to esoteric
cultural knowledge, from writing groundbreaking essays to creating a
l33t home page — awards are presented annually
recognizing those individuals and groups who shine brighter in their
efforts.
