Dear Delegate,

A conference is happening this year. One that has been anticipated, mashing together the rules and procedures of conferences from high school to national, and giving the opportunity to our lovely staff and board to make a new experience possible for you. Chairs will be chosen through applications, making the dais team stay as fair as possible. As the Secretary General for Modun MUN, I am extremely excited to open up the gates to an experience that one will remember. Through its engaging committees, by its strive to educate on different rules that national conferences do, and to make the committees work for all. To sharpen the skills of the intermediate, to challenge the best of the advanced, and to teach the new delegates coming into MUN as beginners. New ways of doing speeches and directives, and with the structure of Crisis, Hybrid, and General Assembly-style committees.

As your Secretary General, I would like to be respectful and also introduce myself. The name is Manas Azamat, and I am currently a sophomore studying in Chicago. I was a freshman student in Mongolia; that’s where my journey began. All SGs will talk about how their story started, and well, I’ll do the same. Starting as a freshman, MUN was one of the only English extras I could do since I couldn’t speak Mongolian, and it being one of my few, it was my favorite and an escape to fun. In my life before MUN, I was always arguing, and I’ve been known to have an open mind. At my first conference, I did lose, thinking I should give up, but eventually the drive to debate hooked me back in. I learned so many perspectives, and after winning my first Best Delegate, I’ve been on a roll, from winning Best to also winning prestigious awards in debate and mock trial, and learning all these perspectives just drove me further. At the start of my sophomore year, I won Best Delegate at the biggest high school MUN in the United States and won at my school as well, and I also attended Chicago's premier Model UN, known as CIMUN. I’ve been invited in my freshman and sophomore years to competitions and MUNs to chair or participate. Taking it further, I am part of the US National Model UN Travel Team, known as All-American MUN. As a delegate who has participated in national conferences and small ones, from winning Best over and over to crying in my room about losing, I’ve noticed all perspectives, and taking the ones I want to show, I, along with my team, have prioritized being different, and it is our honor to welcome you to the conference that will be different than all other Mongolian conferences. And I promise, as the founder of this conference, you will walk out with something new in your head, a new perspective.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

MOMUN 2026 Secretary-General
