Hey guys! Yesterday, I remembered that my blog exists and can be used as a regular blog, so I’m going to post some things about MUN conferences every now and then, just for fun.

Honorable chairs and most esteemed delegates,

Last April, I was delighted to learn that I would be that “honorable chair” at the inaugural BCISMUN conference. It would be my second time chairing and my first time ever chairing the security council, which is my favorite committee! BCISMUN was two days long and – like many other conferences around here – followed the THIMUN procedure. It was being hosted by the lovely Beijing City International School, which is – as the name suggests – in the city, about 40 minutes from ISB.

Before the conference, I spent a week or so working on a chair report with my lovely presidential chair, Karen. A chair report is a research report on the topic the delegates would discuss in committee to make research more straightforward. Our topic was “Addressing Cybersecurity Threats and Empowering Youth for Digital Citizenship,” which honestly didn’t feel much like an SC topic, but we had a fruitful debate nonetheless.

Overall, BCISMUN was a pretty fun conference! It’s really helped me further my chairing experience and was just really enjoyable in general as well. BCIS’s conferences are off to a good start, and I recommend chairing or attending one in the future!
