Dear Delegates,

My name is Aidan Zagel. I, along with Steven Yurcisin, have the pleasure of serving as your Secretary-General of this conference. On behalf of the Secretariat of Christian Brothers Academy’s 12th Annual Middle School Conference, I would like to formally welcome you to this year’s conference.

Over the last year, we have been tirelessly discussing and updating our practices, initiating a number of new and exciting policies that serve to maximize your Model UN experience, such as our new Position Paper grading procedures. We are excited to share and initiate such policies in the coming months.

This year is also historic for CBA Model UN in another way: it will be our largest conference and endeavor to date. I am pleased to announce that 8 new delegations will be joining us this year, which will officially double the size of this conference from Middle MUN XI. It is our hope that, as we expand, we are simultaneously able to strengthen connections with our current schools and our community to create a more synergetic conference.

Delegates, let me assure you that we are so excited to see what you can accomplish this year. We cannot wait to see your knowledge of your community, your country, and your world expand as you undertake Middle MUN XII. Know that this will be a life-changing experience, one which will emblazon your passion for knowledge, which is a life-changing experience.

Sincerely,

Aidan Zagel

Secretary-General of Middle MUN XII
