Weekend of Learning: Leadership Development Workshops
- September 30–October 1, 2023

Join us for a virtual Weekend of Learning, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 on Zoom. Over the course of two days, you will have the opportunity to attend 14 unique Leadership Development Workshops featuring a range of topics — from running a successful Local Group and effective marketing, to the history of Mensa and what you probably don’t know (but should!) about the organization.
Each LDW will have separate attendance, accessible by QR code or via a link in the Zoom chat. Sessions will start at the top of the hour, with presentations lasting about 45 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions before a five minute break. A different set of topics will be presented each day, so be sure to tune in both Saturday and Sunday to catch the full lineup. The sessions will also be recorded and available on the American Mensa website at a later date.
Come learn with us!
