Prepare for Committee

Delegate Preparation Guide

Thorough preparation is the key to a successful NMUN conference experience. All delegates should read the NMUN Delegate Preparation Guide. It will provide answers to most of your questions.

Resolution Policy

Although delegates are encouraged to develop resolution writing skills, both in classroom scenarios and at other Model UN simulations, NMUN conferences do not accept pre-written resolutions. Delegates should refrain from discussing the issues with other delegations until their first committee session.
