About Us
We are ALTMUN, a collective group of individuals who are passionate about providing enriching experiences through Model United Nations. Within our organization are a few bodies, the ALTMUN Executive Directors, the High School Staff, and the Alumni Volunteers.
The ALTMUN Executive Directors
The ALTMUN Executive Directors are a dedicated sister duo who spent their teen years as both Model UN delegates and Staff members. They work to upload the values of ALTMUN in all of their conferences and decisions. The Presidents oversee the ALTMUN organization on a long-term scale, ensuring its continuation in perpetuity. They mentor the rotating group of High School Secretariat who lead the staff as they create each year's content and aim to provide an opportunity for youth development in an open but professional environment.
High School Staff
After each conference the Executive Directors reviews applications and selects a group of High School Staff for the following calendar year. Our staff is comprised of three groups, the secretariat, the chairs and the media team. The secretariat is a small group of student who serve as the leadership to the staff and the bridge to the board. The chairs are assigned committees, they spend many hours researching and then writing the annual topic guides. The media team oversees the website, social media and outward communication form the conference.
Alumni Volunteers
The Alumni Volunteers are adults who all participated in Model UN in their own time. They were all impacted by MUN and now wish to give back and provide opportunities for the next generation. They support the program by acting as chaperones for the staff, specialty advisors or even Co-Chairs at the conference.
The Non Profit Board
The ALTMUN Board is currently being formed with the support of Chatt State Community College and will take shape in 2025. The Board will provide essential logistical and financial support to ensure the organization's long-term sustainability. While the Presidents will focus on programming, staff development, and educational content, the Advisory Board will manage fundraising, business partnerships, grants, legal compliance, insurance, bookkeeping, taxes, and alumni affairs. By handling these operational aspects, the Board will help establish a lasting foundation for ALTMUN’s success.
