National Service Award
National Service awards were first given in recognition of “faithful service to American Mensa.” These awards have sometimes been called National Achievement awards, but the criteria for both are the same.
Nominations for national awards are accepted each January through April. Contact the National Awards Chair for more information or to nominate someone deserving.
