We need practical steps implemented by leaders who actively listen and respond to members. With decades of experience as a hands-on Mensa leader, I can make those aspirations realities.  \nIn the past year alone, I've served as News Team Chair, significantly increasing the content on Workplace. Additionally, I've assisted the Gifted Youth Committee and helped advance the ExComm's business plan by coordinating with NMsto translate MI’s practice test into multiple languages; reviewing current Name & Logo policies, clarifying nuances, and proposing updates; gathering and formatting past motions for easy, searchable access; and working with the ICO to update the website’s design and organization. I'd like to continue and expand those projects.  \nIt's time for us to advance. To do that, Mensa needs an experienced, responsive, creative, and organized Director of Administration, dedicated to improving the value of Mensa for all members.  \nTogether we'll make Mensa flourish.  \nVisit [RobinCrawford.org](RobinCrawford.org).  \nBiography  \nSince joining Mensa in 1989, I’ve been an active volunteer. Highlights of my service include:  \nMensa International  \n• News Team Chair: 2022 – present  \n• Name & Logo Committee: 2008 – 2014, 2023 – present  \n• Internet Policy Advisory Committee: 2010 – 2011  \nAmerican Mensa  \n• National Awards Committee: 2014 – present  \n• Strategic Planning Committee: 2021 – present  \n• Communications Officer: 2004 – 2011, 2021 – 2023  \n• Name & Logo Committee: 2004 – 2011, 2021 – 2023  \n• Task Forces on Governance, Services, Funding, and Value: 2010 – 2023  \n• Authored the 92-page Communications Guide: 2023  \n• Volunteerism Task Force: 2021 – 2022  \n• Ten other committees: 2004 – 2023  \nChicago Area Mensa  \n• Editor  \n• Local Secretary  \n• HalloweeM Co-Chair  \n• Proctor  \nMensa Foundation  \n• Exec. Editor of MRJ: 2012 – 2014  \n• Raised $15,000 for scholarships  \nI was a teacher before raising twins (Mensans) and now live in the cornfields west of Chicago. Being “retired” allows plenty of leisure time for my varied volunteer roles and hobbies.  \nSee my full Mensa resume and learn more on [RobinCrawford.org](RobinCrawford.org).  \nAnswers to IBD questions  \n1. What do you see as the most important aspect of the role for which you are standing?  \nCommunication, including responsiveness to members, is the most important aspect of the Director of Administration's main responsibilities – tending to the publications, members' inquiries, volunteers, and International Office.  \nWhile “communication” sounds rather vague, it implies:  \n• Replying quickly to messages and requests with concrete and useful information.  \n• Initiating and participating in discussions with the leaders and general membership about topics and issues facing Mensa.  \n• Writing clear policies and procedures and then proactively educating leaders and members about changes and details.  \n• Maintaining a supportive and respectful relationship with staff.  \n• Creating content for publications and social media outlets.  \n• Finding and sharing ideas and solutions between national Mensas.  \n• Actively assisting committee leaders and encouraging the volunteers who make the day-to-day magic of Mensa happen.  \nLeadership is the second key aspect. With more than 20 years’ experience leading committees and projects, I look forward to putting my knowledge to work for the betterment of Mensa International.  \n2.
