Alex Sharp

Alex Sharp is a weird but charming individual who is more than happy to finally be a chair for BaliMUN 2022. Although this chair has had little experience in being a chair, this chair has not only enough experience as a delegate but a drive to work hard. While this chair does know when to get serious and encourage informative debate, this chair also recognises that a little bit of fun can go a long way in making moments that will be remembered for ages. This chair is excited to see what strange friendships and bitter rivalries will develop among the delegates. Happy debating delegates!
