What Is MWM? MWM stands for Metropolitan Washington Mensa, a local chapter of American Mensa. We are currently the second largest US chapter in terms of numbers of members, and are quickly gaining on New York.
Where Is MWM? As
you might have guessed from the name, we cover the Washington DC
metropolitan area. Very roughly, our turf extends north about halfway
to Baltimore, south about halfway to Richmond, east about halfway to the
coast, and west just into West Virginia.
Why Should I Join MWM?
When Can I Experience MWM? We offer around 100 wildly varying events each month at all sorts of places for all sorts of Mensans in Maryland, DC, Virginia, and even WV. Plus, we have two free “official” events each month: the New Members’ Open House, and the Saturday Night Party, and 4 official yearly events: May’s fantastic Regional Gathering, September’s Annual Picnic, October’s Annual Election Party, and December’s Annual Holiday party. Most of these are free and open to all members and their guests. Finally, we also have that award-winning Gifted Youth Program mentioned earlier.
How Can I Join MWM? First you have to join American Mensa (not just any National Mensa within Mensa International).
Tell them you specifically want to be in Metropolitan Washington
Mensa. If you're in our turf, that will be the default anyway, but it
never hurts to be sure.
