Dear Delegates,

Let us be the first to welcome you to NAIMUN XLIX's most intensive and creative organ: Cabinets. As your USG and dUSG, we look forward to having all of you join us for the best organ the conference has to offer. We have developed a wide range of geographically diverse committees and are able to provide delegates the opportunity to push the envelope in unusual roles both in foreign and domestic policy.

This year, delegates will be partaking in crisis-based simulations derived from relevant current events. Set in the present day, delegates will fill the role of government officials on both sides of the Sudanese split, as the country faces a monumental divide. The Arab Spring 2011: Iran - Saudi Arabian Cabinet, the second joint cabinet crisis, will have delegates attempting to address regional flare-ups while maintaing peace in their own countries. Those in the Georgian Cabinet will be fighting for their lives against the Russians in an effort to simply survive and prevent total devastation. In another light, delegates will head up one of the most dangerous drug cartels - the Medellín Cartel, in a historic committee that hopes to revive the Medellín name in Latin America. Lastly, Cabinets will offer an Ad-Hoc committee with further details to be revealed at the conference.

Together, we will be working with a talented and dedicated staff to bring you an unparalleled committee experience for this conference. If you have any questions until then, please do not hesitate to contact us. Once again, welcome to NAIMUN XLIX, welcome to our nation's capital, and welcome to Georgetown! We look forward to what is sure to be an unforgettable weekend. See you all in February!

Until then...
