One Heck of a Weekend!

November 17th, 2009 · No Comments

What a weekend for the IAA!  UPMUNC 2009 was absolutely spectacular, and I want to thank and congratulate each and every IAA member that took part for their dedication and enthusiasm.  I also want to pay tribute to the UPMUNC Secretariat and ASGs, who ensured that everything went flawlessly and that we all had a great time.

I think it’s hard for people sometimes to understand the magnitude of our accomplishment whenever we finish putting together UPMUNC and ILMUNC.  These conferences are some of the largest in the world, and both conferences have widespread recognition for being fun and high-quality.  This could not happen without the time that all of you put in leading up to both conferences.  And of course, we have the Secretariat- particularly Secretary-General Poorvi and Director-General Catherine- to thank for their leadership and for raising the bar even higher. Undoubtedly one of the best conferences on the college circuit.

I’m now getting excited for ILMUNC!  It was amazing spending 4 days with all of you downtown, and I can’t wait to do it again.  There aren’t too many school weeks till ILMUNC, so be sure to attend all the GBMs and listen to the upcoming announcements.  Get pumped!

Congratulations to all of you,

Your President,

Jay Raghavan
