Head’s Letters
“I want to express how proud I am of each one of you. Your dedication, teamwork, and enthusiasm are the foundation of our success. Together, we’ve prepared, learned, and grown—and now, it’s time to shine.
Remember, every debate is an opportunity to challenge yourself and make your voice heard. Support one another, stay curious, and believe in your abilities. No matter the outcome, your hard work and spirit will always set you apart.
Let’s make NOSMUN’26 unforgettable. I believe in you all!”

“The stage lights are off, the theatre is quiet, and the rows of seats are empty. Soon, the silence will be broken by the impact of applause, speeches and the strike of a gavel marking the opening of NOSMUN’26.
My name is Julie Zeidan, and I hold the honour of serving as Secretary-General of NOSMUN’26.
Being Secretary-General is a responsibility beyond representing this conference, but the responsibility to use this podium to set a standard of passion, curiosity and inspiration. By the end of this year’s conference, my wish is that each of you has not only met these standards, but surpassed them, and forged your own along the way.
This year, NOSMUN is your stage. But behind the curtain, a team of Secretariats drives every detail, laying the foundation for a platform where you shape the diplomacy of the present. It is a privilege to lead this team, whose commitment and contributions build NOSMUN from the ground up. And to the person who will command this stage next year, I wish you patience and dedication to uphold such honour.
With unwavering determination,
Julie Zeidan
Secretary-General of NOSMUN’26”

“Tough times don’t last, tough teams do”. I never knew how much a single quote could have an affect on one’s perspective and appreciation for their fellow team members and the special qualities they possess, it resonated with me quite a lot as I couldn’t have asked for a tougher, more determined and driven team, and I’m more than sure that our hard work will all pay off in January.
As is the case for many of you, my parents signed me up for NOSMUN training 4 years ago, though I disputed it at first, I fell in love the moment I wrote my first ever opening speech, the moment I wrote my first ever resolution, the moment I gave my first speech and the moment I won my first award. To think that this 4 year journey will lead up to that bittersweet moment where my friends, colleagues and I announce NOSMUN’26 closed is overwhelming but my father always tells me to focus on the journey rather than the destination.
After multiple years with this amazing club that I now consider a second family, one phrase always stuck out to me and it says, “NOSMUN isn’t the conference, it’s the people”, I never thought of it that much and always took it for its surface level meaning, yet after serving as the Head of Conference for these previous several months i now understand how much meaning it holds, it means that no matter what happens, you’ll be supported by your fellow members, it means that you’ll never be judged for trying your best and it means that you’ll always be accepted for who you are in our community. This is NOSMUN
See you all in jan;)

“On December 10th, 2022, I received the email confirming I had passed NOSMUN training, and I had never been so excited in my life. I imagined myself scrolling through the NOSMUN website, looking at committees, picturing the experiences ahead…
That’s definitely not how it went. In reality, I archived the email. I had zero interest in MUN at the time—I was terrified of crowds, didn’t enjoy debate, and despised writing resolutions.
Slowly, MUN grew on me. A year later, I was a committee advisor in UNODC at NOSMUN’24 and a crisis officer on the secretariat team. Another year passed, and I became deputy head of crisis, preparing to chair NOSMUN’25’s special committee. That journey makes it surreal to be the NOSMUN’26 Head of Crisis. Along the way, MUN has sharpened my professionalism, strengthened my communication, and taught me what true leadership requires.
We all have that one person who guided us in MUN—leading us through resolutions, helping with applications, and celebrating our achievements. For me, that person is my older sister Natalie, Senior Deputy Head of Conference of NOSMUN’24. She is the reason I joined MUN in the first place, and every award or success I’ve achieved is thanks to her support.
It’s overwhelming to think that some of the most important aspects of NOSMUN lie in my hands, but my team and I are committed to delivering exciting committees, engaging topics, and unforgettable crises.
Best regards,
Ramsey Nasrawin,
NOSMUN’26 Head of Crisis”

“When we were just little kids, NOSMUN was simply a “super cool” club that everyone wanted to join — to dress preppy and spend time at hotels. But year after year, it became something so much more.
It turned into a fixed date on our calendars — a time we looked forward to with excitement and joy. We started getting attached to it. We complained less about the workload, and began to genuinely enjoy the preparation period before each conference. And as cliché and repetitive as it may sound, NOSMUN helped shape our personalities into who we are today.
For me, as I became part of the Secretariat team, it started to feel like a family — a responsibility I cherish and deeply care about. Even though I still nag (a lot) about the work I have to do, the truth is: it’s one of the very few things I truly enjoy.
To NOSMUN — thank you. Thank you for making me who I am. Thank you for bringing us all together. Thank you for being a source of joy, growth, and inspiration. And most importantly, thank you for making us not regret draining our parents’ bank accounts.
This goodbye is going to be one of the hardest.

“I have no clue what to write; I’ve spent too much time just thinking about how to begin. It’s difficult to sum up the endless training classes, the work, and the effort that went into this journey — and most importantly, the memories I’ve made along the way. Even when I disliked what was happening in the moment, I’ve come to value the struggle, because looking back, it has always been meaningful.
I have always planned ahead, yet rarely stuck to the plan. Still, no matter what the plan was, I’ve tried to give my best at every step, learning and growing along the way. This mindset carried me from my first session as a trainee, through my experiences as a delegate and a trainer, to standing here today as Head of Training, however I couldn’t have done that without my team. So I owe the next paragraph to this year’s team.
To this year’s team: thank you. Your dedication, collaboration, and commitment have been the backbone of our training program. Together, we have prepared workshops, guided delegates, and faced every challenge with determination and creativity. This team has made the journey not only manageable but rewarding, and I am proud to work alongside each of you. Continue working with the same passion and dedication, and keep shaping the future of NOSMUN together.
With great pride,
Mahmoud Al-Baw

“One more year… One more year of a journey that has shaped me for the past five years. This time, I take on the role of Head of Finance — a role that fills me with both pride and responsibility.
NOSMUN has left a permanent mark on my personality and character. It has taught me how to think outside the box, to step forward with confidence, and to adapt and improvise no matter the challenge in front of me. Every year has pushed me to grow, but this year, I want my actions to speak louder than words. Together with my team, I will work tirelessly to make NOSMUN’26 not only successful, but unforgettable.
As I step into my final year, I feel nothing but gratitude — for the memories created, the lessons learned, and the friendships I have made along the way. NOSMUN has been more than a conference; it has been a family, and a defining chapter of my life.
This is my last year, but it will be my best year. And I couldn’t be more thankful to share it with all of you.

“Hello everyone, my name is Raya Kamal and I will be your head of photography for NOSMUN’26!
The majority of people assume that MUN is boring, emotionless, and strictly professional, when in reality, that could not be further from the truth.
Fortunately, I always knew the NOSMUN team was more than a team, but rather a family, thanks to my two sisters, who were both part of the team and inspired me to join in the first place.
It is truly unbelievable how many memories you form during the conference and the knowledge you gain, not just politically but also social wisdom, which builds your confidence overall, allowing you to form new friendships and memories that last a lifetime. These memories and emotions can be immortalized just by a click of a camera, which gives us a picture that lets it live on forever, just like when we look back on old photos and reminisce, feeling everything we felt in that era all over again in an instant.
Therefore, in return, I, as the head of photography for this year’s NOSMUN, want to make sure that I capture all the memories, whether it be the funny moments like the crisis entrance, which never fails to make everyone laugh, or the heated open debates. Through that, I can share the energy during the conference with everyone in order to show the depth of NOSMUN and the emotional connection that grows between you and the team, which cannot be replicated.
Cannot wait to meet you all in January, wishing you best of luck!
