Welcome to Metropolitan Washington Mensa, aka MWM! We've got lots of information here for you to check out, whether you're a member, friend of a member, testing prospect, or just curious about what Mensa is all about.
LATEST NEWS: During the month of October 2021, you can take the admission test with the local group (i.e., us), for half off the usual price!
Slightly older news, worth hanging onto for a while: WE WON THE DIAMOND AWARD! (That's the highest level in Mensa's annual Jewel Awards.) From the newsletter:
A hearty CONGRATULATIONS is due for our entire chapter and especially anyone contributing to MWM leadership! Metropolitan Washington Mensa has won the Diamond award among all Class 1 chapters (those with more than 1,100 members) in the annual Mensa Jewel Awards, announced in September.
The jewel awards recognize “local groups’ membership-related activities and their active participation in all that Mensa has to offer,” according to immediate past National Chair LaRae Bakerink.
A round of applause is also due to several MWM members who took home individual awards, including
Tabby Vos, National Service Award
Lowell Aplebaum, National Certificate of Appreciation
Jason Seiler, Chairman’s Service Award

If you are wondering, "who are these people anyway?", check out Who We Are.
For those interested in joining, check out How to Join -- or if you already know how, and just need info on our upcoming Testing Sessions, there's a page for that too.
Want to see what else we do? There's a whole section of the site for that.
Curious about how MWM works? Check out our official documents in the members-only area. (Most of it is not restricted, just not very interesting to non-members.)
Other questions? Check out the menu bar; maybe there's something relevant there. If not, you can Contact Us.
If you're a member, we hope to see you at some event, maybe even one you'll host, or an Executive Committee meeting where you're an officer or other major volunteer. If you're not a member (yet!), but interested in checking us out, we hope you'll join us for a New and Prospective Members Open House some day, or come to any other event as a member's guest.
