Secretary General José Miguel Insulza welcomes the Mayor of Washington, D.C.,
Adrian Fenty, to OAS headquarters
Mr. Adrian Fenty, Mayor of Washington, D.C, is a
remarkable Model OAS General Assembly (MOAS)
alumnus, who participated in the 6th MOAS for high
schools held at OAS headquarters in Washington D.C.,
in 1987, as the head delegate of Mackin Catholic
High School, where his delegation represented the
country of Grenada. Later, in December 2004, while
he was a Council Member for the District of
Columbia’s Ward 4, he was the key-note speaker at
the closing ceremony of the 23rd MOAS for high
schools, held also at OAS headquarters. At that
time he stated that his “participation in the MOAS
prepared him for the negotiations, discussions and
public debates that he performed on a regular basis
as part of his political functions.” During his
latest visit to the OAS on March 7, 2007, Mr. Fenty
reiterated his strong belief that the MOAS program
is a very valuable tool to teach students about
leadership, international relations, politics, and
multicultural communication.
