Jared Phillips – Crisis Director
Jared graduated in 2017 with a BA in political science and geomatics
from Carleton University, with four years’ experience delegating and chairing at model UN conferences in Canada and the United States.
His interest in NATO began at an early age, being lucky enough to attend airshows at 4 Wing Cold Lake, and learning more about the Alliance each time the Maple Flag exercises came to town. Consequently, MNATO has always been his favourite conference, and he is excited to put
this year’s delegates to the test as Crisis Director.
