Mensa International's Director of Development Bibiana Balanyi, has announced that Japan Mensa has been granted Full National Mensa status.
Congratulatiing the group, she said: "The volunteers of Japan Mensa did a great job and now their tremendous work has been rewarded. I am convinced that Japan Mensa will continue to grow and develop. It has been a particular pleasure for me to assist the group - Hisashi, Tsukasa, Naotaka and others - in their development work as they were the very first group I could help in my capacity as Director of Development. That is why I am a little bit more affected seeing this achievement."
Japan Mensa will take a seat at the table of the International Board of Directors meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria in October.
There are now 29 National Mensa groups with Full National Mensa status.
