Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top 2% of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities. Mensa has three stated purposes: to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity, to encourage research in the nature, characteristics and uses of intelligence, and to promote stimulating intellectual and social opportunities for its members.
Gatherings will be dinner meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of every month; and breakfast or brunch meetings on the 4th weekend of every month. The location of said gatherings will be posted in the Chattanooga Mensa Facebook Group, so please join us.

Young Mensans are one of the fastest-growing segments of Mensa's membership. Mensa for Kids shares high-quality content and programs specifically designed for gifted youth, their parents and teachers around the globe, regardless of Mensa affiliation.
Karen Simpson is our local Gifted Youth Coordinator; for safety and privacy reasons, youth events are not made public. GY (and/or their parent or guardian) are always welcome at any Mensa events, unless the event is at an adults-only venue. Parents of GY should still feel welcome to attend those events, in order to meet and network with members.
