Special thanks are in order to both the delegates and the staff for making the Best Delegate team feel welcomed. Many delegates got roses during the conference, and Best Delegate was not left out. Here USG of Technology Ramzi “Ziggy” Abdoch delivers a rose on behalf of the Peter Pan Committee to Ryan:

Thanks to Peter Pan committee chairs for letting Ryan feature the committee throughout the conference!

One of the most exciting things about Model UN is seeing your friends around the circuit. USG of Public Relations Heriselda Begaj and I both staffed UNA-USA MUN last year and got to see each other again at this conference. Heriselda made my day with this rose here:

Thanks again CMUNCE team for having us!
