Northeast Regional Model Arab League 2009
Welcome
Dear Delegates and Faculty Advisors,
We are pleased to invite you to attend the Northeast Regional Model Arab League conference (NERMAL), to be held from November 6th through November 8th, 2009, at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.
Hosted in conjunction with the National Council on U.S-Arab Relations (NCUSAR), NERMAL is a competitive collegiate conference, featuring simulations of several councils within the League of Arab States. Northeastern University has a long tradition of excellence in the National University Model Arab League program and thus promotes a high level of debate at NERMAL on topic areas that focus on crucial issues facing the Arab World today. In addition to being an excellent opportunity to expand your global perspective by debating as representatives of the twenty-two states in the Arab League, NERMAL is a great way to meet and network with other students who share a passion for international and Middle Eastern affairs.
If you have any questions about the conference at all, please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail at northeastmal@gmail.com. We hope to see you in November!
Sincerely, |
Matthew Cournoyer Co-Secretary General northeastmal@gmail.com | Delia Harrington Co-Secretary General northeastmal@gmail.com |
