ADVANCED COMMITTEES FOR 2012

• Security Council: Dual Delegation  -  Open Agenda.  Delegates in this committee need to be on top of the world's most important issues, from the Middle East to the Korean Peninsula, to Central America.  Additional Advanced Security Councils will be created depending upon need.  
• Historical Security Council: Dual Delegation  -  Decolonization in Africa and Asia (1950 to 1970).  Beginning in 1948, the empires of Britain, France, Belgium, etc. began divesting themselves of their colonies, sometime willingly, often times not.  Some achieved independence without a shot being fired, others were plunged into immediate civil war.  This Security Council's job is to create a workable formula for the independence of Africa and Asia.  Meant to simulate twenty years of efforts, will your plan be successful, or will millions needlessly die?
• Diplomatic Europe:  Triple Delegation  -  This is our popular Diplomacy based committee set in modern Europe.
• Eurasian Diplomacy:  Triple Delegation  -  This a a Diplomacy variant set in modern Europe and Asia.
• World Economic Forum - Topics Pending - The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.  In this committee you take the role of a major transnational corporation such as Shell Oil, Microsoft, or McDonalds.  This committee is a must for those of you determined to be part of the 1%.
• Diplomatic Crisis Committee -  A few years ago, oil was discovered off the coast of the island of Cyprus, divided between Greek and Turkish forces since 1974.  Turkey is demanding a fair share of that oil and Greece isn't exactly eager about it.  Set a few years in the future, this scenario includes the Greek cabinet, the Turkish cabinet, the British cabinet AND a crisis Security Council!  We've ran this crisis a few years ago and it is considered one of the most tense and popular committees ever.
• Mafia / FBI Committee -  Topic Pending  -  The Mafia committee was first introduced at the high school conference level at Tustin about a decade ago and still remains popular.  As "made men" will you be able to expand your empire as other kingpins of organized crime work with and against you?  As a member of the FBI can you put a stop for good of the criminal activities that have sapped the moral fiber of the United States?  A very tense committee with danger around every corner--try not to get "wacked"!  
• Harry Potter (Crisis Committee) - One of our most popular and "fun" committees.  This year, we go backward in time for a crisis of the original Order of the Phoenix.  In the midst of the First Wizarding War, Lord Voldemort is at the height of his power, and has invaded Britain with an army of giants. The Ministry is in complete disarray, and wizards and Muggles alike are being slaughtered indiscriminately. Werewolves roam the night as the few surviving members of the Ministry look to Barty Crouch for support. As one of the few remaining powerful and truly good wizards, Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has just established the Order of the Phoenix. It is up to this committee to prevent He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named from taking over and establishing a tyrannical rule, but don't expect it to run its course as in the books!
• AND DEPENDING UPON NUMBERS WE'LL ADD A FEW OTHER EXCITING AND CHALLENGING COMMITTEES.

NOVICE COMMITTEES FOR 2012

• Security Council: Dual Delegation

All freshmen committees will be a Security Council with the following two topics:  A One State Solution to the Palestinian-Israeli Problem / Expansion of the Security Council.  Our chairs will be sensitive to the fact that Security Council may be new to many freshmen.  We'll work to make their transition painless and fun.
