Introductory Message:
Hello delegates, my name is Charlie Doherty, and I have the honor of serving as your Head Chair for the African Union at this year’s IASAS MUN. I’m currently a senior at the International School of Bangkok, where I also serve as the Secretary-General of ISB MUN. This will actually be my first time chairing at ISB, and I couldn’t be more excited to do so at IASAS, a conference that showcases some of the best diplomacy and debate in the region. Outside MUN (and talking far too much), I run cross country and track, and I’m an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox, Chelsea FC, and the Boston Celtics. I look forward to seeing the passion, nuance, and collaboration each of you will bring to committee, and I can’t wait for the engaging debates that lie ahead in the African Union!
