How does the SIGHT program work?
Active in more than 40 countries, SIGHT is a network of Mensans who want to meet other Mensans as they travel. The program looks after both hosts and guests, providing the opportunity for rewarding friendships. SIGHT emphasizes clear communication between hosts and guests by encouraging consideration, helpfulness and understanding of others’ preferences and differences. One guest within a traveling group must be a current Mensa member. Each Local Group around the world appoints a SIGHT coordinator whose primary function is to match potential guests with suitable hosts in the area. Once the coordinator has been contacted by the guest (and often after contact from the National SIGHT Coordinator), he or she will find the appropriate host for the guest, depending upon the requirements of both the guest and the local hosts. Then the coordinator will pass along details of arrival and departure times, duration of stay, etc., and the host communicates thereafter directly with the guest.
