Letter from the Secretary General:
On behalf of The George Washington University’s International Affairs Society, it is my distinct honor to invite you to participate in the Greater Washington Conference on International Affairs (GWCIA). This year we will be hosting our 16th Annual Conference on Saturday, November 5, 2011. GWCIA brings middle school students from throughout the Mid-Atlantic and beyond together for an exciting and educational debate about major international issues.
GWCIA is designed to provide a valuable educational experience for participants. Debate is conducted in a professional manner and atmosphere, according to parliamentary procedure. The conference provides a great opportunity for delegates to interact with their peers while they gain valuable experience debating current world issues. GWCIA XVI will serve as a learning experience for all students involved. The conference, held at The George Washington University in Washington DC, emphasizes diplomacy and negotiation as a means for solving conflict.
The conference is staffed by current George Washington University students who all hold a passion for international affairs, diplomacy, and debate. As members of the International Affairs society, our staff is equipped with experience and knowledge of international relations and Model United Nations. I have the privilege of working with an intelligent and dedicated staff that is greatly looking forward to providing a memorable experience for all delegates.
GWCIA XVI will join the ranks of previous conferences and set a great precedent for the years to come. This years conference will highlight a variety of topics, both historical and contemporary, covering diverse sets of interest and regions of the world.
I look forward to welcoming you to campus in the Fall of 2011! If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the conference consult our FAQ page (link here) or feel free to contact me at gwciaxvi@gmail.com
Sincerely yours,
Chris Longman
Secretary- General, Greater Washington Conference on International Affairs XVI
