From the Desk of the Secretary-General
Esteemed advisors, delegates, parents and staff,
I am excited to announce the thirteenth session of our Red Cedar Model United Nations
Conference. My name is Chloe Pottenger and it is an honor to serve as this year’s Secretary
General of RCMUN XIII. On behalf of this year’s RCMUN Staff and Secretariat we want to
thank all delegates, parents, schools and advisors new and old for participating in our upcoming
conference and being a part of the RCMUN community.
We are excited to announce that our conference will be held on February 3rd, 2024. While the
location is still undecided we are dedicated to hosting a conference that is both enriching and
educational for all those involved.
Since the spring of 2023, RCMUN Staffers have been hard at work pitching their committee
ideas and continue to work together to create an amazing delegate experience through decorum
and debate. Each of our Staffers have the drive, creativity and professionalism that is essential to
creating wonderful committees that will engage delegates no matter what their interests are. This
year, we have a wide array of diverse locations and topics that delegates can explore. It is
exciting to see our Staffers continue to channel their creativity into their committees to inspire
delegates to change the world. I know that every delegate will be able to have an amazing
conference experience with the help of our wonderful Staffers!
RCMUN strives to provide a safe educational experience and environment for all delegates. We
make sure that our committees represent many facets of cultural diversity that can be seen
around the world. It is important to ensure that our conference supports delegates from every
background in terms of race, gender identity and more. We strive to make our committees and
our conference cognizant of these issues and to provide an equitable educational environment for
all. Only then can delegates shine and participate in respectful discourse throughout our
conference.
This conference holds a special place in my heart. Nine years ago, I had the opportunity to attend
RCMUN IV when I was in 6th grade. It was my first Model UN conference I attended and ever
since then I was inspired to continue my passion for Model UN and international relations up
until now where I serve you today. I say this to offer new and returning delegates the opportunity
to attend a conference that will foster learning and a passion for Model UN for years to come and
inspire you to continue your Model UN journey into the future.
On that note, I look forward to working closely with advisors and delegates to make this
conference an exceptional experience for all. If you are a school that is interested in starting a
new Model UN chapter at your school please feel free to reach out to us for any assistance. We
have plans to increase outreach opportunities for schools and students this year to expand Model
UN at the middle school level!
RCMUN’s Secretariat and myself are available to support your schools and help in any way
possible. If your delegates are interested in growing and developing their Model UN skills such
as public speaking, research, writing, or parliamentary procedure, please feel free to sign up for
our outreach programs that we are continuing this year by filling out our forms in the outreach
portion of our website. Additionally, if you have any questions, comments or concerns about
anything RCMUN, please feel free to contact me at secgen@rcmun.org.
On behalf of the RCMUN Staff and Secretariat, we look forward to working and communicating
with you to make RCMUN XIII conference that all can enjoy.
Best Regards,
Chloe Pottenger
