Chair: Isabelle Chu (HCAS)
Hi, delegates! My name is Isabelle Chu, and I’m a junior at Hsinchu County American School. I’m honored to serve as your Head Chair for General Assembly One. DISMUN VIII will be my thirteenth conference and my third time chairing. I still remember attending my first conference—I was completely confused throughout the whole debate. I kept wondering if I should ask this question. Wait, no… What if the other delegates think I’m stupid? But here’s what I’ve learned: don’t be afraid to ask questions or speak up, because chances are, others have the same question too. My job is to help and support all delegates so everyone can make the most of the conference. Feel free to contact me through my personal email at isabelle1014tw@gmail.com or on Instagram at @i_sabei_ Through MUN, I’ve developed essential skills like public speaking, critical thinking, and connecting with others. I hope you’ll also gain new skills and discover something meaningful through this experience. Outside of MUN, I’m a big fan of Stray Kids, and I enjoy playing electric guitar. I hope you all have an amazing time at this year

Co-Chair: Austin Lin (IBSH)
Hello, delegates! I’m Austin Lin, currently a rising sophomore at the International Bilingual School of Hsinchu. I am really honored to serve as your deputy chair for DISMUN VIII!! This is my 11th conference and my 1st time chairing. Although this is my first time chairing, my experience of 10 conferences allows me to understand the MUN process, and as a chair, I could apply my experience and understanding to guide delegates throughout the conference to a fruitful debate and everlasting good committee experiences. Apart from MUN, I enjoy listening to playing basketball, listening to music, C++ coding, spending time with family and friends, eating burgers, watching movies, and doing algebra.
