Delegates,
Welcome to GSMUN and to the Iranian Hostage Crisis-American Government Committee. This year I am excited to guide your debate through a very difficult and important time in America’s history. You will debate both how to rescue the Americans being held hostage in the Iranian embassy and tactics to safely keep American-Iranian relations stable and healthy. Before you begin this exhilarating conference, let me introduce myself and my vice chair:
Kayla Aaron, your honorable chair, is a senior here at Maggie Walker. Kayla has been dutifully involved in Model U.N. since her sophomore year. Outside of the club, she sings in the school’s a capella group, the Deadbeats holds a leadership role in EduPac, Maggie Walker’s club for advocacy. She is also a member of the ASL and Appalachian Heritage Music Clubs. When she isn’t filling the halls with her mesmerizing singing, she likes to school her brother in some hoops and have movie marathons with her friends.
Duncan Sims, your vice-chair, is also a senior here at Maggie Walker. Duncan has been involved in Model U.N. since his sophomore year, starting as a crisis member for GSMUN XVI. Besides Model U.N., Duncan is also involved in Track and Field as a member of the throwing team, Maggie Walker’s Drama club, and Maggie Walker’s Young Democrats team. Outside of school Duncan is involved in sound engineering and political campaigns. After graduation, Duncan wishes to pursue a career in Astronautics Engineering.
I welcome you to have fun during this committee by participating in lively debate, even if this is your first conference, and doing thorough research beforehand. You are expected to write a position paper, and guidelines for this paper can be found at gsmun.net. While this conference is about having fun while discussing fascinating worldly events, I would like to stress that there are certain expectations of you. At GSMUN there is absolutely no tolerance for plagiarism. Every paper presented will be examined for plagiarism and any infringements will result in the delegate’s sponsor being informed, and no possibility of said delegate receiving an award. Your paper is to be emailed to the dais before the conference or turned in physically at the first committee session. Duncan and I cannot wait to meet you, and hope you enjoy your experience as much as possible.

Chair
Kayla Aaron
My name is Kayla Aaron and I am the chair of the American part of the Iranian Hostage Crisis Committee. I am a senior who has been involved in Model UN since my sophomore year and this is my first time chairing a committee. In addition to Model UN, I am a member of the school’s acapella group, Deadbeats and of Maggie Walker’s We the People team. Outside of school, I spend my time with my friends and my family. We love pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
