Letter from THE CHAIR

Hello delegates!

I am Agamya Singh, a senior at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North, and I’m thrilled to serve as Crisis Director for this year’s crisis committee, Money Heist. Participating in Model United Nations these past four years has been the experience of a lifetime—from crafting elaborate crisis arcs to joking with my fellow delegates, crisis simulations in particular have been some of the most competitive yet entertaining experiences I’ve had. Within NorthMUNC, I’m honored to be serving as Secretary-General. Outside of MUN, I’m involved with the Student Council, weightlifting, baking, and spending time with my family and friends. 

I would also like to take a moment to introduce this year’s Crisis staffers. Saeed is a current junior at High School North. He’s been in MUN for the past three years and is excited to see what crazy arcs committee makes up. Apart from MUN, he enjoys watching movies and playing video games in his free time. He hopes to see diplomacy within committee along with creativity when it comes to private directives. Feel free to reach out to him at ss@tambo.li if you have any questions! Riddhi is currently a sophomore at High School North and is thrilled to be serving as one of the staffers for this year's crisis committee! Apart from Model UN, she is a part of the school robotics team, and she loves spending her free time coding and with friends. At NorthMUNC IX, Riddhi hopes to see delegates addressing these creative issues using unique approaches. She is super excited to hear nuanced solutions and diplomatic debate from all! Feel free to reach out to her at rid.ganesh@gmail.com anytime with any questions or concerns! Shirona is a sophomore at High School North and is thrilled to be one of your staffers for this year's Crisis committee! Beyond Model UN, she is actively involved in SAASA and plays volleyball for our school team. When not engaged in extracurricular activities, Shirona loves spending quality time with her friends and family. At NorthMUNC IX, she looks forward to seeing how delegates will bring a unique approach to addressing this issue, eager to delve into niche solutions, passionate debate, and connect with all of you. Don’t be afraid to reach out to her at sharma.shirona@gmail.com if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Harshith is currently a sophomore at High School North and is excited to serve on the Money Heist Crisis Committee. Alongside MUN, Harshith is involved in North's Model Congress team as well as enjoys watching television and playing sports. He hopes to see intense debate and crazy crisis arcs. Feel free to ask any questions at hrshthkarthik@gmail.com. Neev is currently a sophomore at High School North and is excited to be serving as one of the staffers for this year's Money Heist Crisis Committee. Besides Model UN, Neev loves to play sports like basketball, soccer, and golf. He also loves to play chess and spend time with friends and family. Throughout NorthMUNC IX, he looks forward to seeing other delegates be respectful and show diplomacy while balancing a competitive spirit. Neev also wants to hear creative solutions and see delegates thinking on their feet. If there is any need feel free to reach out to him at neev.jain2315@gmail.com anytime with any questions or concerns.

Money Heist has the distinction of being NorthMUNC’s only crisis committee, which stands out from the usual GA or Specialized committees in that it combines nuanced debate with political intrigue and unpredictable crisis updates that set the best delegates apart from the rest. This year our crisis is based on the popular show Money Heist. For those of you who have watched, you’re in for many surprises, and for those who haven’t, you’re in for even more surprises. Regardless of prior exposure to the show, we will try to run the committee in a way in which everyone will be able to understand the flow of the committee equally as long as they have read the background guide. I invite you all to push your boundaries, experiment with creative crisis arcs, and—most importantly—enjoy yourselves! Crisis committees have easily made for some of my best experiences in MUN and I couldn’t be more excited to share one with all of you!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at agamya.singh@gmail.com.

Best of luck to all of you!

Best,

Agamya Singh

Crisis Director, Money Heist

LETTER FROM THE VICE-CHAIR

Hi Delegates!

My name is Johnson Lin and I’ll be your Crisis Chair for Money Heist, NorthMUNC IX.

As a current junior at WW-P High School North, I’ve had my fair share of experience with Model UN. The long research nights, intensive debate, and countless memories have contributed to the person I am today. MUN nights spent with my fellow delegates and friends have been some of the best memories anyone could ask for. Within MUN, I have the honor of serving as one of NorthMUN’s Head Delegates. Outside of MUN, I'm involved in Student Council, and Model Congress. Reflecting on all my fun memories in MUN, I hope to offer you all the same valuable experiences at the conference.

Given the nature of this committee, I can’t reveal much. However, I can assure you that Saturday will be a day full of subterfuge and an unparalleled level of debate. I encourage you all to step out of your comfort zone, not only in your speeches but in your arcs and backroom. Above all, Agamya and I value diplomacy and creativity — take this with you throughout the committee, but don’t forget to have fun too!

See you guys on Saturday.

Best,

Johnson Lin

Crisis Chair, Money Heist
