Since it is the mission of the International Volunteering Network, the IVN Committee has decided to facilitate a kickoff online meeting within the IT Department. The meetings will gather the volunteers in charge of these activities in the National Mensa chapters.</span></p>

That is why during 2020 the IVN committee decided to encourage online meetings across departments as well. These virtual meetings allow the opportunity to establish communication between members with the same or similar duties, on a regular basis. Across the globe we face the same challenges and instead of solving the puzzle on our own, why not benefit from the “tribal knowledge”?</span></p>
