DISCUSSION

-The DC conference two weekends ago was successful
Travis earned “Best Delegate” from his committee and an ‘honorable mention’ was earned overall for the delegation.
In addition, Erica’s committee sponsored two working papers

-Davis was different than other conferences; small, and Berkeley, Davis, Chico, and SDSU participated. Unmoderated caucus entirely, so a new experience for members in AzMUN. The members of AzMUN all bonded and got to know each other better, so in that regard was a great experience.
Travis earned “Distinguished Delegate” for his committee
