This is how we grow faster.  \nWe are all responsible for the future of Mensa. It is important to create a welcoming environment for new members and keep a positive and engaging atmosphere.  \nMensa must also get better at keeping volunteers and encouraging their development; it is not a secret that Mensa relies on all our contributions. Get involved – please help us to make Mensa better, every hour of your time as a volunteer is needed now more than ever.  \nMensa must remain a neutral organization, and not make any statements which could be perceived as political.  \nI offer extensive Mensa experience and current knowledge about Mensa International processes. This allows me to focus on opportunities, rather than learning the role. While I am an independent candidate, I work well in a team and my track record demonstrates this.  \nI would be grateful if you cast your vote for me. If you have any questions, please get in touch.  \nJacek Cywinski  \nE: jacekmensa@pm.me  \nBiography  \nI have been with Mensa for 19 years, having been actively involved at national and international levels:  \n2019 – present: International Treasurer, Mensa International  \n2014 – 2022: Board member, Mensa New Zealand  \n2017 – 2019: Executive Committee Member – Asia-Pacific Mensa Gathering 2019  \n2015 – 2020: Mensa Foundation International Scholarship judge  \n2011 – 2016: Member of Leadership Exchange Ambassador Program Committee, Vice-chair, Chair  \n2010 – 2012: Chair of Mensa Poland, IBD Member  \n2006 – 2010: Board member and Testing Co-ordinator, Mensa Poland  \nIn my professional life, I am a public servant leading a team of tax specialists. I have 21 years of experience applying commercial and tax law regulation, fraud investigation, and following compliance framework at both national and international levels, gained at multinational companies, public service, and my own accounting practice. I have postgraduate degrees in psychology and finance & banking; and I am a Chartered Accountant.  \nAnswers to IBD questions  \n1. What do you see as the most important aspect of the role for which you are standing?  \nCoordination of the work of the executive committee and the team of international volunteers. We need constructive discussions while avoiding groupthink. The Chairman needs to be available for international volunteers, and the international office; and be there for the good and not so good. It’s essential to be empathetic and understand different viewpoints and volunteer styles; however, it is important to confidently call out counterproductive volunteer behaviours when necessary.  \nI believe the old Latin quote applies “Primum non nocere” – first, do no harm. Mensa must remain a place where intelligent people from all walks of life, cultures and ideologies feel welcome to meet, have fun, and exchange ideas.  \nOur members can be political, but the organisation must never be – the Chairman needs to be mindful of this. Overall, it is a full-on role requiring dedication and experience, and I am up for it.  \n2. Why have you volunteered for this role, and what in particular qualifies you for it?  \nI am a dedicated and experienced volunteer with a track record of meeting my commitments and taking my role seriously. I believe that my skills and experience will be beneficial, particularly when the majority of the current ExComm members are not eligible for re-election, and there are quite a few projects in progress.  \nFor most of my professional life I have been a public servant, striving to be apolitical and neutral, which is essential while serving the public – this is beneficial for our organisation, as Mensa relies on not having opinions and being neutral, as the only thing which we all have in common is high IQ.  \nMensa is part of my life – there has been no week without Mensa for 19 years.
