Chair: K. Monroe Durand (He/Him), kmdurand@wisc.edu
Hi! My name is Monroe, and I will be one of your chairs in the Intro to Crisis: Microstates committee. I am a current freshman at UW-Madison, majoring in Political Science and Environmental Studies. Last year, I was the president of Middleton Model UN, and have been invited back to chair MADMUN as a result. As a chair, I value engaging debates, faithfulness to your position, and a willingness to compromise. This committee should give plenty of opportunities for all three, and I hope that you are able to thrive in this non-competitive environment. I’m excited to see you all in November. To reach me for any questions, please email me at kmdurand@wisc.edu

Sim: Charlotte Neumann, csneumann2@wisc.edu
Hello, delegates! My name is Charlotte Neumann, and I’ll be one of the sims for the microstates committee. I’m a sophomore at UW-Madison studying linguistics and international studies. I’m serving as a sim this MadMUN because in high school, I was Middleton Model UN’s first two-year president, and also served as secretary of the board prior - so clearly I enjoyed it enough to come back! As a sim, I value creativity, accuracy, and restraint in your crisis notes. When you write to me, I would like to see out-of-the-box solutions rife with details. I’d also like to see an accurate representation of your position’s current ideals and goals. Finally, restraint is important -- push the boundaries of what could work, but don’t push them too hard. I am confident that you’ll be able to strike a good balance! I look forward to seeing you all in committee!
