Behind the Scenes - What do Secretary Generals do?
A Talk by Philippe Lefevre , Maryam Nsaif , Charis Yeap and Sharon Low
About this Talk
In this panel for World MUN Day, Scheduled for the 13th of November 2021, we will be taking a step back from the immediate organising of MUNs and seek to explore MUNs from those who have been right in the middle of dozens of conferences, Secretary Generals. Taken from the title of the Chief organiser, Secretary, and General of the UN, these positions are often important for MUN, but little time is dedicated to reflecting on experiences and best practices worldwide. Join us as we talk in a panel of former Presidents and Sec Gens of MUNs and MUN Societies and try to create a nucleus of experience that we can draw from for years to come.
