Advisor’s Report
A. Some schools offer NMUN as a class, not a club. This year, I have received a grant to go
to the conference with you. I want to get more ideas on how to transition this club into a
class, while still offering it as a club.
B. We will focus heavily on how the conference works because last year at the debriefing it
was decided that there was not enough focus on preparing to be at the conference, just on
how to get to the conference.
II.
President’s Report
A. Throughout the year, we will be fundraising and preparing for the conference.
B. How the conference works: we are assigned our country on October 15, 2018.
Committees assigned November 15, 2018. We will be split into pairs and rank the three
topics in the order you want to cover them. Then you will outline these topics and your
position on each topic. The conference is in New York, April 14-18, 2019. closing
ceremony is in the UN Building on Thursday.
C. I will be registering for the conference tonight.
D. Please, everyone join the club on CU Connect.

Vice President of Service’s Report
A. We are looking into a booth for fundraising (perhaps a bake sale) at ALF this year.
B. It would cost us $25, but there is a waitlist of about 20 people.
C. Other volunteer opportunities include United Way’s 5k on September 29, 2019 and CU
Day of Service.

Treasurer’s Report
A. The conference as a whole costs $7,172.00. The $20 dues cover the registration, We
received $500.00 to put towards this year from the Clarion VFW, but the rest of the cost
we will rely on fundraising and grants.
B. We will definitely use at least two grants; an undergrad research grant and the student
senate supplemental.
C. We already have two fundraisers planned as well – a Yankee Candle fundraiser (40% of
all sales) and canning at Comet on September 15-16, October 13-14, and November 3-4
from 11:00AM until 2:00PM. We will also look into Dine to Donate.
