Committees

For 2009, we have introduced a new Committees structure that we hope will provide a more comprehensive approach in the selection of a committee when registering for the conference. Our selection of the diverse committees for CAHSMUN 2009 are to satisfy your preferences, whether you are a newcomer to Model United Nations (MUN) or a seasoned veteran.

Nine committees, split into two disctinctive groups, General Assemblies and Regional and Specialized Agencies, will be stimulated at CAHSMUN 2009. The General Assemblies are recommended for those who are comfortable with working in large committees with many people, as well for as delegates relatively new to MUN, as these committees will provide a chance for delegates to familiarize themselves with MUN while having a chance to exercise and practice their diplomatic skills. The Regional and Specialized Agencies are recommended for those who enjoy working with a smaller group of people, and for those looking for a challenge. These committees have their own unique procedures and obstacles that will no doubt make the experience memorable for those participating.

This year at CAHSMUN, we are pleased to introduce to a new initiative: our Joint Crisis Committees. The Historical Cabinets of the United States of America and Mexico, set in the year 1846, on the brink of the Mexican-American war, are unique among the committees at CAHSMUN 2009, because the actions and decisions of one will be reciprocated in the other. These two Cabinets are recommended for the most experienced delegates who wish to immerse themselves in fast-paced scenarios, challenge themselves in a situation where one must think fast, act fast and maybe even change history.

Thank you for your interest! For further information about the specific committees, please go to the links to the left.
