The National Collegiate Conference Association (NCCA), sponsor of NMUN, is a recognized Non-Governmental Organization associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information.
The United Nations provides an impressive backdrop to our NMUN Conference. Opening sessions for the annual NMUN Conference are held in the General Assembly Hall at UN Headquarters. In addition final plenary sessions also are held in conference rooms at the UN.
Numerous NMUN Conference speakers are associated with the UN including HE Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali and HE Mr. Kofi Annan. In 2007 UN Deputy Secretary-General Dr. Asha Rose Migiro and Gillian Sorenson of the UN Foundation gave Keynote Addresses.
UN officials have also served as advisory board members, and many student delegations meet with their official national delegations during the conference.
The current NCCA Board President, Joseph H. Melrose, Jr., is a former U.S. Ambassador and has served as a senior advisor to the U.S. Delegation to the UN General Assembly.
