GCIMSMUN is a program of the United Nations Association of the United States of America. Throughout the conference, delegates were encouraged to get involved in international affairs and make a difference in the world. Guest speakers from the UN visited the conference to speak about the Arms Trade Treaty, women’s rights, environmental issues, and the protection of children. And by attending the conference, all delegates and staff were offered a free UNA-USA membership to help them get started in teaching others about the United Nations at their schools and communities.
