Secretariat

The Secretariat is the group of dedicated individuals who work for months at a time to continue the legacy of excellence FIMUN carries each year. This Secretariat has poured hours of work to ensure delegates and advisors alike have an unforgettable experience. For FIMUN 38, this Secretariat exemplifies excellence, service, and dedication at each step of the way. These are the hands behind the work you see at FIMUN, and the ones who build our vision from the ground-up every year.
