Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the European Union Parliament! We are ecstatic that we can guide your debate as you discuss two of the most long lasting and complicated issues in the EU: reforming the ECJ and human trafficking. However, before we start debating these heated issues, let's get some basic introductions out of the way.
Isha Gangal, one of your chairs, is a sophomore at Maggie Walker who loves Model UN, and joined the Maggie Walker Model UN Club when she was a freshman. She attended GSMUN in eighth grade and served as a staffer last year in the Afghan National Assembly, so she has plenty of experience. Outside of MUN, she enjoys playing tennis, recycling, and watching crime shows, her biggest addiction. Isha is extremely excited to be co-chairing you committee and hopes to give you the best GSMUN experience possible.
Avery Gagne, your second chair, is also a sophomore at Maggie Walker, being involved with the club since freshmen year. Last year he worked as a vice chair in the United Nations Development Programme, so he's extremely excited to be your chair this year. Avery's involved in many clubs outside of Model UN as well, being a part of Chess Club, Robotics, and Spanish club just to name a few. By mixing this with the standard Maggie Walker life style he's lost a little bit of sleep, and probably a little sanity, but he stopped caring about that a while ago. One of Avery's greatest challenges in life is writing introductions about himself, since it’s hard to think of interesting things about himself. Either way, he simply can't wait to give you the best GSMUN experience you can have.
Please remember to write a position paper. Guidelines are found on gsmun.net. Remember that if your nation is specifically mentioned in this background guide, we aren't asking for any extra work, but instead we're providing context on some of the most pressing issues. This is to be emailed to the dais before the conference or turned in physically at the first committee session. Without a position paper you cannot be considered for awards. We can't wait to see what solutions you come up with, and once again we're excited to meet you. We hope you have a fantastic GSMUN!

Chairs
