Eagle Institute for Global Affairs and Leadership

What Eagle Institute for Global Affairs and Leadership does

The Eagle Institute for Global Affairs and Leadership is a Massachusetts-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 2010 that operates EagleMUNC, an annual Model United Nations conference based in Boston. The organization serves high school students from across the Northeast United States who participate as delegates, alongside high school faculty advisors who coordinate delegations. The core product is a three-day conference held at the Westin Copley Place Hotel featuring a proprietary 40-hour immersive simulation in which delegates remain in character throughout the event, with a self-reported 5:1 delegate-to-staff ratio. Committee offerings span four formats — General Assembly, Hybrid, Crisis, and Application-Based (Thematic and Ad-Hoc) — with the EagleMUNC XV portfolio comprising 21 committees across 7 teams.

Revenue is generated through tiered one-time registration fees (delegation fees of $70-$90 and delegate fees of $90-$110 depending on registration timing), supplemented by financial aid fundraising through the Eagle Global Leadership Initiative (EGLI) sub-brand. The go-to-market motion is event-driven, recruiting high school delegations through the Model UN circuit, word-of-mouth, social media (Instagram, TikTok), and direct email outreach to advisors. Operations rely on over 100 college-aged volunteer staffers, primarily drawn from Boston College, alongside a Board of Directors and Corporate Officers team.

The organization does not use proprietary technology beyond a standard website (eaglemunc.org), email communications, and cloud-based form tools. It maintains a mailing address in Brighton, MA. Leadership comprises CEO Nicholas Scalera, Chairman of the Board Grant Stephano, and an executive team of recent Boston College graduates, with the corporate officer ranks populated almost exclusively by alumni who progressed through EagleMUNC's internal committee and secretariat pipeline.

Others

• Best Delegate: Leading MUN education and resource platform serving the same high school Model UN circuit. Comparable ecosystem adjacency as a content/training provider that delegates and advisors use between conferences.
• Boston College Model UN Club: Boston College's student MUN club that supplies the volunteer staff pipeline for EagleMUNC. Functionally an upstream feeder rather than competitor, but deeply tied to EagleMUNC's operating model and identity.

Direct peers

• Yale Model United Nations (YMUN): Yale's annual high school MUN conference with crisis and General Assembly committees. Comparable to EagleMUNC in serving high school delegates with multi-format committee offerings at a premium annual conference.
• Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN): Harvard's annual high school Model UN conference, one of the most prestigious in the circuit. Directly comparable to EagleMUNC as a university-hosted, three-day MUN conference for high school delegates with similar committee structures, pricing tiers, and the Westin Copley Place / Boston hotel footprint overlap.
• Princeton Model United Nations Conference (PMUNC): Princeton's high school MUN conference serving the same Northeast delegation ecosystem. Comparable in audience, conference format, and tiered registration structure.
• University of Pennsylvania Model UN (UPMUNC): UPenn's annual high school MUN conference featuring multiple committee types including crisis and specialized formats. Directly comparable in audience, conference length, and educational mission.
• Georgetown Model United Nations (NAIMUN / GMUN): Georgetown's flagship NAIMUN conference for high school students, offering multiple committee formats (crisis, GA, specialized). Directly comparable in target audience (high schoolers), committee breadth, and conference production model.

Emerging players

Regional players

• Boston University Model United Nations (BosMUN): BU's high school Model UN conference also based in Boston. Regional peer competing for the same Northeast high school delegation pool and overlapping with EagleMUNC's geographic catchment.
