Secretariat / Bureau Roles
The JEMUN Secretariat consists of four different roles in most of our meeting rooms. The four roles are Chair, Director, Assistant Director, and Rapporteur. All of them work together to ensure the success of each meeting room.
JEMUN Chairs are responsible for facilitating all of the committee's proceedings by following JEMUN’s rules of procedure, ruling on points and motions, keeping time, and ensuring that the students have a lively debate.
JEMUN Directors are responsible for overseeing the entire resolution process and approving draft resolutions. He or she must make sure that delegates are writing resolutions in the proper format and staying in character. In addition, the Director moderates proceedings when deemed necessary by the Chair.
JEMUN Assistant Directors are responsible for aiding the Director in the resolution process, specifically with resolution formatting and non-substantive questions. The Assistant Director will be working directly with the students.
JEMUN Rapporteurs are responsible for keeping the committee in order by maintaining the speakers' list, calling roll, and tracking all resolutions and votes. In addition, the Rapporteur is responsible for communications between the bureau and Senior Secretariat teams and also providing progress updates to the JEMUN journalists in the daily press briefings.
In the JEMUN security council room, one delegate will be assigned the President role. This delegate will be be responsible for facilitating all of the committee's proceedings and speaking to the press on behalf of the Security Council.
The Chair, Director and President roles will be filled internally, but if students are interested in applying for Assistant Director or Rapporteur roles, they should send inquiries to jemunconference@gmail.com
