A Local Secretary (LocSec) is a volunteer role in many Mensa chapters. Typically a LocSec will have responsibility for a city or county, but beyond this the role varies considerably from country to country.

In British Mensa they usually manage a small area alone, their main role is be a point of contact for members although many of them personally host a programme of local meetings, and they are an appointee of the Regional Officer.

In American Mensa the LocSec will be an elected position, they will manage a wider area and a team of volunteers - more akin to the British Regional Officer.
