Hello everyone,
My name is Anbie Lee and I will be one of your HSOC chairs. I am in 11th Grade at KIS International School. My involvement in MUN started relatively recently and this conference is my 8th overall and 4th as a chair. I encourage everyone to not only take risks and contribute to the fruitful debate in the committee but also to enjoy the experience and have fun. Chairing HSOC is a great privilege and I am excited to see how this new committee will unfold. Outside of MUN, I can be found reading, trying to fulfil CAS requirements, painting, or lurking around Kinokuniya. I look forward to seeing everyone in March!

Since joining MUN in year 9 I've been opened to the world of debating and tackling global issues to discuss solutions; I quickly became devoted to MUN and would always look forward to upcoming conferences. I am currently a year 12 student at Shrewsbury taking history, economics, psychology and maths for my A levels. Alongside my affection for cooking and the foods, I spend most of my time reading, listening to music and binge-watching tv shows (not something I'm proud of). As a chair, I hope to make all the delegates feel comfortable with sharing their ideas and working together with one another while maintaining a humour-filled yet professional discussion. But most importantly, I will be trying my best to make sure everyone is having fun! And with that being said, I look forward to meeting everyone at the conference and charing the historical operations committee (the history geek in me is ecstatic haha).

I’m Mac, a senior from KIS International School and it’s going to be an absolute pleasure backroom chairing HSOC. I entered MUN quite late, only entering at about 9th or 10th grade. Regardless of the time I spent in this programme, though, I feel the same love and respect to this program and its members as you. I’ve made numerous friends over only a few conferences and that alone is a testament to MUN’s unique ability to bring everyone together. I’ve only ever been a part of two conferences in my short career, the first of which was THAIMUN VI, where I was thrown into the role of Boris Johnson without knowing who he was. Alas, that’s a story for another day. It’s been a short ride, one ride that I wish I entered earlier as this will be my last conference as a high-schooler. I hope to be the best chair I can be and my goal is for everyone to have an equal opportunity to speak, rebut and engage in productive conversation to reach a (hopefully peaceful) solution.
Hi! My name is Pat. I am currently in 11th grade at RIS. I look forward to being a chair at THAIMUN VIII. This will be my first time being a chair. For me, it is a great opportunity to try something new. I hope new delegates who decided to join MUN for the sake of trying something new will find MUN fun and challenging. I still remember how I found my first MUN conference at my school 3 years ago boring and intimidating. However, by stepping outside of my comfort zone in subsequent conferences, I changed my mind. I believe MUN is an activity where you get to develop, share, and challenge your thoughts in an organized way. The fun of it is getting to learn new ideas along the way. It is also a good opportunity to meet new people. Have fun!

Hello there. Bit of a strange one really, I’m Thomas May, I graduated last year from KIS and am studying in the UK. I was supposed to be Secretary-General last year before Covid, but then, well you know what 2020 was like. Anyway, I wrote the HSOC manual and hope to assist delegates in the new HSOC setting that a few of us spent some time designing last year. Think of me as the spectre that haunts THAIMUN, the spectre of Tommunism.
