From 1989 to 1991, she served as a Regional Vice Chairman (region 7), which made her a member of the American Mensa Committee. There she got into some political clashes.

In all, 13 charges were made by complainants Ralph Rudolph, Darlene Criss, Dave Remine, and T.J. Lundeen. Ultimately, rather than defend herself after a grueling day of having charges presented to her, she gave in and signed a settlement agreement where she "pled guilty" to some of the charges and agreed to be permanently barred from holding national Mensa office.[1] She remains the only American Mensan who is permanently not a "member in good standing" as a result of this sanction.
