San Francisco Regional Mensa
EVENTS CALENDARSan Francisco Regional Mensa (SFRM) is a chapter of Mensa, the international society for people who score in the top 2% on IQ tests. The goals of the group are to provide and encourage social and intellectual interaction. There are approximately 1400 members in the San Francisco Bay Area  and we regularly schedule 80+ events each month.
Mensa is for those who rejoice in the exercise of the mind. If you enjoy mental challenges and revel in the interplay of ideas, Mensa is an organization that will stretch your mind and expand your horizons.

Redefining Success: A Multi-Faceted Career Journey
Lisa Sticca-Conrod has worn many hats throughout her life: professor, lawyer, entrepreneur, curriculum designer, nonprofit leader, coach, and tutor. Her background spans education, law, publishing, advocacy, and psychology. She also returned to school later in life to study educational psychology and neurodiversity so she could better understand her twice-exceptional daughter.

Meet the Members
I like going to Mensa events because I never feel like I have to downplay my accomplishments or intelligence.
My role today continues to be responding to questions families have regarding everything from understanding definitions of gifted and twice-exceptionality, finding schools suitable for gifted children, psychologists for testing, and connecting with gifted organizations.
It’s great having such eclectic discussions with others who can not only keep up, but also broaden our horizons.
I love the RG’s. Meeting new people with similar interests, having fun and learning about subjects I would never think to study on my own like “How to Make an Oboe Reed.”
