The ModelICAO could not happen without the participation of all partners and volunteers who make it a unique event. We constantly strive to improve the experience and the ranks of our partners and volunteers. If you would like to join us, support the project or donate your time for the event, your help is welcome.
We are also looking for volunteers who want to get involved in the preparation and during the ModelICAO. Volunteers of all backgrounds are welcome. Briefly, we need volunteers to act as a Director, Assistant director or Chair on the different Dais, and also in other roles. If you would like to join us, send us your resume by highlighting the skills you consider relevant to the simulation. We will contact you afterwards, according to our needs. Please contact us by email at info@modelicao.com.

Chair in Committee
The Chair is in charge of leading the committee’s formal debate in accordance to the ModelICAO Rules of Procedure. Working with the Director, the Chair assures that the committee operates in an efficient manner. This position requires a very thorough working knowledge of the rules of procedure and a professional presence on the dais. Chair applicants should have significant Model United Nations experience, particularly at the NMUN Conference.
Chair must fulfill the following tasks:
-
Runs motions and procedures and acts as the arbiter of deliberations;
-
Supports the Director in the correction of working documents produced by the committee;
-
Manages interactions between DAIS and delegates.
We are also looking for volunteers who would like to be involved in the organization by helping during the ModelICAO. These people will be asked to assist the organizers to make sure that the ModelICAO runs in an efficient manner. This opportunity is perfect for those wishing to develop skills in facilitation of debate, conflict resolution and customer service while learning alongside delegates about emerging global issues and discovering an international organization.
