The Mid-Atlantic Simulation of the United Nations 2009 is the next George Mason Model UN-sponsored conference for high school students. Progress is well underway on ensuring we have the best conference ever this year and a brand-new Secretariat is excited to bring many fresh and innovative ideas to this year’s conference.
MASUN 2009, which will feature more engaging committees and topics than most high school conferences, coupled with one of the best staff-to-delegate ratios in the region, promises to be the most exciting event of the year on the local Model United Nations circuit. The focus on unique committees will allow us to present more engaging topics for the weekend, with an emphasis on having constantly-evolving situations for all delegates to debate.
MASUN ‘09 is scheduled for the weekend of Feb 20-21st, 2009 (schedule). Announced committees include UNICEF, the NFL Annual Owners Meeting, the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), and a unique joint crisis between the 1962 US National Security Council and 1962 Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, among others. Registration is now open, and country/committee assignments are first-come, first-serve so register quickly!
