	In some years, the [[Annual Business Meeting of American Mensa]] is held on July 4th. It wasn't this time, but there were still some fireworks. This was the last ABM for the outgoing group of officers who were part of [[Dick Amyx]]'s combined ticket; Amyx was re-elected, but his allies lost their elections, so he faced a potentially hostile AMC. Of the departing officers, [[Tim Hardy]] in particular (the treasurer) made use of his report to get in a few parting shots at his political opponents, though he also presented a well-done computerized slide show giving a snapshot of Mensa's financial picture. However, the big event came near the end of the meeting, when Amyx abruptly announced his immediate resignation as [[chairman of American Mensa]], causing [[Darlene Criss]] to become chairman for the few minutes remaining before adjournment, and [[Dave Remine]] to take over the new two-year term that Amyx had been re-elected into. This move had political ramifications that continued for years, as, for instance, it put Criss onto the [[National Hearings Committee (American Mensa)\|American Mensa National Hearings Committee]] as a past chairman, and started Remine's multiple terms as American and then International chairman.

 The hospitality suite was generally regarded as pretty good this year; it was in a large room with a great view of the famous Gateway Arch, and on the same floor as the other events, and it was reasonably well stocked with hors-d'oevre-style food and a few "feeding frenzies". The ''smoking'' hospitality was smaller, but was located directly across the hall from the main hospitality suite. It is considered to be one of the best-located ''smoking'' hospitality suites at any AG.
