Candidate, Member at Large

by Mike Johnson

I have been an active member of Phoenix Mensa for over 20 years and
member-at-large for the last year. I just recently signed on for a life
membership in Mensa. I've started/coordinated numerous activities,
including the Music SIG, TV Views, Bookpulpit, Motorcycle SIG, Malibu
Grand Prix SIG, Skeptics and MITs (Mensa Investment Typhoons - hot air
going round in circles).

In my real life I've had a career as a physicist/engineer/statistician
with Rolls Royce and GE. I've been running my own technical consulting
business for several decades in the US and the Orient. I now support
myself by pseudo day trading the stock market from home on the
Internet.

Last year you elected me member-at-large. I forgive you. But if you
commit the same mistake again I threaten to continue my past
performance. My main contribution has been implementing the e-mailed
GPM calendar and the weekly Mensa Reminders. This is particularly
useful for announcing spontaneous events at short notice. Any member
may use it - just e-mail me your event.

I will continue efforts to develop more intellectual Mensa events even
if Jerry Corbin and I continue to be the only attendees.
