There are some key dates I want everyone attending to keep in mind:
March 01, 2021​ – Position Papers are due to NMUN by 11:59PM, so please email them to me
no later than noon on Monday, March 01, 2021
April 05-09, 2021​ – Virtual NMUN Conference. The schedule has not been released, but I know
they plan on condensing it more than in past years. Because it will be virtual, I will be forwarding
everyone an email from NMUN so that they can test their software.
The deadline to apply to be a Committee chair at the United Nations conference is March 01,
2021. Another educational feature of the conference is elevating delegates to serve as volunteer
committee staff, replicating the UN system where ambassadors serve as committee chairs. Rest
assured, a delegate's service in these positions in no way detracts from his/her delegation's
ability to win an overall delegation award. Past Secretariat members note the strong educational

value in using topical knowledge to help move forward the committee agenda. Delegates with
previous committee experience (in NY or elsewhere), as well as delegates who may be
interested in applying for volunteer staff positions in the future are particularly encouraged to
apply to become a chairperson for their committee. A Chair works with their Director and
Assistant Director to assist with procedural and administrative tasks, and helps ensure that their
committee operates in a smooth and efficient manner. This position requires a working
knowledge of the NMUN Rules of Procedure and a professional presence on the dais. Chair
applicants should have prior Model United Nations experience, particularly at NMUN
conferences. I will post the link to the application below. If you apply to be a chair, please let Dr.
Trejos and I know.

Students not attending the conference are NOT required to write a position paper unless they
want to. Any help is appreciated so if you are interested and have the time, please consider
helping with the paper writing.
Treasurer’s Report: N/A
Secretary’s Report: none
Dr. Trejos: Will contact MUN for extension on position papers due to the limited notice we
received for the research grant to be able to afford virtual attendance.
