By tapping/clicking on the menu icon on the top right, there are many options
that are of particular interest to Chicago Area Mensa members.
Most of the information on our website is publicly viewable, but not
personal information, such as phone numbers, addresses, and last names of non-officers.
Access to that information
requires you to log in using your American Mensa email address and password.
Our newsletter ChiMe and all official documents are also restricted to members only
as designated by the icon.
Chicago Area Mensa is an active social group. Information about events,
including our Bi-Monthly Gathering, is
available when you follow this link.
The more you participate, the more you'll reap the benefits of your membership by
forming lasting friendships with fellow Ms that get your jokes and relate to you
on a level different than what you may have experienced at work or with friends and family.
Please feel free to send a note to any ExComm (formerly known as the Board of Directors) member if you want to become more involved.

All positions in CAM are held by volunteers who are current Chicago Area
Mensa members. If you are interested in getting more involved, you can
learn more about the various
positions
and see which ones are vacant by viewing our current Officers
or checking the list in the latest edition of
ChiMe
given there are newsletter-related positions not
listed on the Officer webpage. Even if a position that interests you is not
currently open, let the LocSec
know you’re interested so s/he can
contact you should it become vacant in the future.
Chicago Area Mensa takes privacy seriously and therefore the CAM website has a password-protected section.
In this section, CAM Members may access or get information about any of the following:
