Position Preferences

Director:

Directors will be in charge of leading the committee and setting its direction, as well as guiding fellow staff members. Directors are responsible for “envisioning” the committee, and bringing it to life. They will be working alongside the Secretariat to plan out the committee, and other administrative actions on the level of their committee. Additionally, the Director should be extremely well versed in their topic, able to provide clear suggestions on where the committee should be heading.

Assistant Director:

The role of an Assistant Director is to assist with completing the backgrounder, regulating debate, communicating with delegates, and providing support to the Director before and throughout the conference. Assistant Directors should be well-versed in RoP and will be doing the majority of the structured speaking during committee sessions, and should be able to effectively communicate with delegates. During the conference, Assistant Directors are expected to help the Director keep tabs on delegates, the flow of debate, and bloc formation.
