Resignation of the Secretary General

Resignation of the
Secretary General



After seven months at the helm, it’s time for me to stand down as your Secretary General.
I’ve really enjoyed running the MUN, and I hope I leave the place in good shape with a new Charter, help guide, buddy scheme and other fun things.

Big thanks go out to all the regularly active contributors, you know who you are in particular, Rory, who has been an exceptional deputy and to my predecessor thunder_chunky, whose advice has also been a massive help.

I’ve been running the MUN for a year, either as deputy SG or SG, and an on-off member since 2008, so I feel the time has come to pass on the role to someone new.

The election will last for two weeks anyone interested in becoming SG has 7 days to send me their manifestos (300 words max), followed by a 2 day Q&A session and finally a 5 day vote.

I’d urge you all to run for this position, it’s definitely worth it!

Here’s to the future of the MUN and all the best to my successor.

I’ll wrap things up with this song

You've been brilliant Birch, well done and good job! I won't be running for SG but intend on remaining as Deputy SG!

Good luck to all those candidates who apply.

I'll be sad to see you go, I joined the MUN just at the start of your time as SG and would like to thank you for making it a wonderful experience so far!

And good luck to everyone running! :smile:

Why?

It is a shame to see you go after what you have achieved in your tenure. 7 months is too short, we need stability.

Torn about running or not

This is a shock. I've only joined recently but everyone else says you have been an excellent SG, and your achievements have been immense :frown:

I might take a step back and be a casual observer for a while once I've properly stood down, but I might become a rep in the future.

Ah ok fair enough :wink:
You've been an excellent SG mate, sad to see you go but good luck in your future endeavors :smile: It's been a pleasure.

Good luck to whoever runs, it'll be an interesting election :smile:

You've been an excellent SG, you've done much that I didn't achieve. Good job and it's a shame to see you go. I actually wondered if you'd keep going and break my record for length of time served.
Anyway sorry to see you go but what I will say is that it's a nice feeling to return to being a rep for a country after spending a considerable amount of time having to be neutral as SG. I tried to rep you but it's currently PRSOM.


I urge anyone that is remotely interested to go for the role. It's a good role to have and although it's not easy it's fun.


P.s Best start dusting off and updating the SG's bible. Then handover was a bit of a pain in the arse (from my perspective) because I had to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything.

Sorry to see you step down Birch but thanks for all you've done.
As you're the only SG there's been since I joined the MUN, it's going to feel so different without you. But you've been great, thank you :smile:

Great work in the MUN Birchington. :smile: I hope your successor can live up to the commitment you've shown this place.
You're the only SG I've known since I joined the MUN. You've done brilliant work :biggrin: It's going to feel quite different without you...But let's hope the next SG can live up to your standards :smile:.

I'm probably the newest here but I've heard great things about you as SG, sad to see you go

I haven't been too active recently due to intense exam periods. I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better as SG, because you seem pretty interested and involved in what you're doing. Congratulations and keep up the good work! :smile:
