Political Affairs

The Political Affairs team provides EagleMUNC with our committees, simulations, and creative content. One of the most unique facets of EagleMUNC is our 40-Hour Simulations, which seeks to create an ongoing "conversation" with delegates abut how they interact with and impact the world that the staff creates. At all times, delegates will have opportunities to stay in character to respond to various conference events.

Public Relations

The Public Relations team is in charge of school outreach, communications with advisors, marketing, and social media content.  This year, the team is working to make registration more streamlined and increasing their social media presence to make sure everyone is as excited about EagleMUNC IX as the staff of EagleMUNC is.

Finance

The Finance team creates the conference's and team's budgets, manages sponsorship opportunities, helps with the conference charity and donations, and controls the annual merchandise. 

Administration

The Administration team is hard at work as they assist in conference operations through hotel communication, logistics, conference coordination, and technology implementation.
