HMCA 2024 Committee Topics

 

Here is the list of the 15 committees and their briefing topics that were offered at HMCA 2024. This page will be updated once new information becomes available.

 

Please wait at least 7 days after paying all fees to receive your committee assignments. Only contact the Faculty Liaison if it has been more than 7 days.

ASEAN will be a double delegate committee, which means that two delegates from the same school will be representing the same country. Delegates will be evaluated as a partnership. 

Senate Foreign Relations will be a novice committee, which is a committee for those who are beginners to Harvard Model Congress. This therefore offers a space for beginner delegates to discuss and debate with other beginner delegates. There will be additional attention to giving delegates instructions before committee starts and guidance throughout the conference.
