CO-MUN 2011 PLANS

MUN - again.
This year, I am the Secretary General for CO-MUN, the highest position in the conference. It's very exciting, but also quite daunting - its a HUGE task, but I am very excited about it. Over the two previous years that I have been part of the Organizing Committee, I have picked up on some things that we need to fix up, to make the conference go as smoothly and as well as possible.
Being a perfectionist, I feel like it is my responsibility to make this conference as good as it can be. Just to make sure that everything is in on time, make sure that all the conference rooms are set up, money comes in on time.
We have meetings every week, and I feel as though we have a really good team this year - they're very proactive and hard-working, which we need. We also tried to bring the workshops and the practice debates up so they are sooner as opposed to closer the the conference date.

Also, in the school after-school activity, Priyanka and I are in charge, and we are really trying to push them so that we do well in the conference, as in previous years have been seen as a joke at the conference. We are holding debates frequently, so that people get more used to being able to talk and debate. By practicing these skills early, I am hoping that we can change the impression of OSC kids at the MUN conference. We are the ones that host it, after all, and it is embarrassing that we are so weak.

The conference is in March, so we still have a while to go before everything is sorted out. But so far everything is on track, and I hope it stays like this all the way up to the conference date.
