About the Regional Gifted Youth Coordinator

Lana Lee
Regional Gifted Youth Coordinator, Region 8

I’m a typical Mensan: all over the map. 15 years as a civil engineer but an oboe degree from U.S.C., having played at the Hollywood Bowl and a background in internet development.  I work as a community manager for a Silicon Valley tech company and also make websites on the side primarily for musicians. I love performing music, playing board games, and talking about Harry Potter – in fact, I run Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for all of those interests – and hanging out with my dog, Lola.

Currently, I’m San Francisco Regional Mensa‘s (SFRM) webmaster and GenX Coordinator and also serve on their Executive Committee as a member-at-large. I’ve also led a number of leadership development workshops for Mensa’s marketing committee and am actively involved in the Mensa Foundation’s strategic planning committee and in American Mensa’s marketing and gifted youth committees.

​​I recently served on the board of the Gifted Homeschoolers Forum and as your gifted youth coordinator, I look forward to hosting virtual events that are unique and exciting as well as creating a supportive community for our gifted youth and Mensa families.
