2006/2007 MODEL
ARAB LEAGUE CHAIR APPLICATION
Applications for committee chairs are now
being accepted for the following regional models:
•
Ohio
• Michigan
• Rocky Mountain
• Southwest
• West Coast
Seats that are not filled during
the application process will be open to election at the model, so we recommend
that all students interested in chairing apply ASAP. Chairing is a
fantastic way to assume leadership responsibilities at models and observe Model
Arab League behind the scenes.
Applicants
for chair positions must meet the following requirements:
•
Previous participant in at least
one university Model Arab League.
•
Know the rules and
procedures of Model Arab League.
•
Have evidence of an organizational
and administrative record and capacity.
•
Willingness to work beyond the
hours of the committee sessions to make the Model function smoothly.
To apply for a chair position, please
submit an application to
Mark Morozink with
the following:
• Name
• School
• Year
• Time & Telephone number where you can be reached for a phone interview
Also please answer each of the following
questions with a brief paragraph (or as appropriate):
1.Detail your previous experience
with the Model Arab League.
2.What is your previous
experience working with Parliamentary Procedure?
3.Is it ever acceptable to "bend
the rules" of Model Arab League Parliamentary Procedure if you think it is in
the best interest of the committee? If so, to what extent and under what
circumstances is it acceptable?
4.In running a committee, what
goals do you set? What would you like to see the committee do?
5.Many rules of procedure are
used from the beginning of a committee session until a resolution is passed and
sent to summit. Narrate the life of a resolution, starting by detailing how
committee session should open, move on to the topic, then the resolution, then
voting. Detail each specific motion and rule of procedure that need be used in
the process.
6.What committees would you
prefer to chair? See the agenda for topics; and note that Economic Affairs,
Special Arab Summit on the Promotion of Women and the Arab Court of Justice will
not be held at all models.
Acceptance will begin two months before
each model on a rolling basis, so while late applications are welcomed, we
cannot promise that spots will remain open. Submit all application
materials to
Mark Morozink.
