MUNSA

We just got back from an MUN conference, MUNSA, in San Antonio. I've been to four other conferences, one in Baku, one in Beijing, and two in Cairo, and this conference was the best run out of them all. At MUNSA, I was a part of the ILO (International Labor Organization). It was obvious that the chairs of my committee were familiar with running a committee using parliamentary procedure, and they knew how to run it efficiently and effectively. The other delegates in my committee were well-informed (well, most of them), and we were able to have a very productive debate. We ended up passing four resolutions: two for our designated topics and two on crisis topics that were given to us at the conference. My favorite topic was the second crisis. The crisis was that there was a fire in a Nike sweatshop and more Nike sweatshops were found in Viet Nam and Indonesia. I was the delegate of Viet Nam, so since I was directly affected by the crisis, I was able to participate heavily in the debate and had a large say in what the resolution was going to have in it. I enjoyed being a key player in the debate. Overall the trip was a lot of fun, and the conference was great!
