Mensa Bulletin

The Mensa Bulletin is the official magazine of American Mensa, published since the 1960s (when it was begun as the "American Mensa Activities Bulletin", a supplement to the international Mensa publication of the time to give information about local activities in the fledgling American branch). It is currently a slick, colorful magazine. The editor was originally a volunteer Mensan, then later a Mensan working under contract, part-time, for a stipend, but is currently a non-Mensan paid staffer in the national office, reporting to the Executive Director. The switch from a Mensan editor to a non-Mensan staffer was done quickly by the American Mensa Committee following the unexpected death of the last Mensan editor, Marjorie Mandelblatt, and led to some political controversy.
