Elmont Memorial High School’s Model United Nations program participated in the prestigious North American Invitational Model United Nations Conference (NAIMUN) from February 15, 2017, to February 19, 2017.

This international conference had nearly 4,000 attending students from nations all over the world such as China, Pakistan, Denmark, Australia, Germany, Haiti, Nepal, Brazil, Israel, and India.

The talented Elmont students represented the nation of Bolivia, and some of the committee topics included demilitarization of space, combating terrorist financial networks, reintegration of refugees, drug trafficking, and natural disasters. Georgetown University students moderated all of the committees.
