Hello there!
My name’s Nabila Elassar, and I’m a 22 year old Business Administration graduate and a lifelong MUN fanatic.
I am absolutely honored and excited to be serving as the Best Delegate Media Chair of Middle East & Africa for the upcoming year.
My connection to Best Delegate started in September 2013, as a training article contributor, but my MUN journey started at the age of 10. I have 7 years of MUN experience, spanning from the American University in Cairo’s Junior Summer Program MUN, Cairo University’s Model American Presidency, and The German University in Cairo’s I.A.E.A, as a delegate, and finally, GUCMUN North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as a crisis coordinator/committee chair.
The connection I have to MUN however, is mainly based around my love for training. It started the year where I trained delegates, experienced the gratification of being able to recruit, planned the academics for and personally developed a group within Model UN. After that, I decided I never want to let go of Model UN.
Today, I am juggling a full time job at a Multinational FMCG as a Marketing Insights & decision making business analyst, working towards a professional project management certificate at Stanford University, and managing a full time membership in a youth development program in Kuwait, called The Proteges.
I am also serving as the first official THIMUN Qatar Arabic MUN Program Consultant for the year 2015.
My one true passion however, is, and will always be development through MUN. This is where my boundless admiration and loyalty to The Best Delegate Organization comes, as it aims to serve as a top worldwide resource for the development of MUN skills for both delegates and committee chairs.
And this is where my message for you, dear visitor, comes in.
