OVERVIEW
mid-sized general assembly-style committees (100-160 delegates)
Economic & Social Councils (ECOSOCs) are mid-sized General Assembly-style committees which simulate national bodies, regional organizations, UN conventions, and other commissions of similar size. These committees, which contain between 80 and 160 delegates, primarily focus on economic, social, and cultural issues. In ECOSOCs, delegates represent countries, ministers, or members of parliament, and seek to craft cooperative resolutions to pressing global and regional issues.

About Alexia
Alexia Espinoza Vlad is a member of Class of 2027 in the Walsh School of Foreign Service, and she is majoring in International Politics, with a concentration in International Law, Institutions, and Ethics. She is from Naples, Florida, so she would definitely rather be at the beach right now. Alexia has had extensive Model UN experience in high school, and she now staffs all three Georgetown-hosted conferences and competes with the GUMUN travel team. Last year, she served as the Director for the Commission on the Status of Women at NAIMUN LXI. Outside of MUN, Alexia spends her time giving super relatable and hilarious campus tours with the Blue and Gray Tour Guide Society, working at her on-campus job at the Mortara Center for International Studies, singing in the Georgetown University Concert Choir, and taking 0.5 pictures with her sisters in Delta Phi Epsilon Professional Foreign Service Sorority. She loves to travel, make her weekly visits to Trader Joe's, go to the gym, and explore DC! Alexia is elated to be serving as your Under-Secretary-General of Economic and Social Councils, and she is looking forward to making this NAIMUN the best one yet!
About Michael
Michael Murray is a member of the Class of 2027 in the Walsh School of Foreign Service, majoring in International Politics with a concentration in International Law. He was born and raised in Chicago and competed in Model UN throughout high school. Michael was a delegate at NAIMUN LIX and LX, and served as a Crisis Analyst in NAIMUN LXI’s Ad Hoc Committee of the Secretary-General.

Outside of NAIMUN, Michael is a board member of the Georgetown European Club, a member of the Eating Society, and the manager of a student team researching disarmament policy alongside the UNODA. If he's not studying for class, you can find Michael trying new restaurants across DC, touring embassy row, or watching Formula 1 races with his friends on Copley lawn. He is super excited to serve as your Under-Secretary-General for ECOSOCs and have the chance to be a part of such a wonderful NAIMUN community!
