Chair: Hannah Liao
Hi everyone! I’m Hannah, a ninth grader at Asia American International Academy (AAIA). It’s my utmost honor to serve as the Head Chair of DISMUN IX’s General Assembly 1. This will be my 17th conference and second time chairing. Through MUN, I found my voice and my love for diplomacy, inspiring me to engage more deeply in global issues. I enjoy
participating in debate tournaments and MUN conferences. Besides academics, I’m also really passionate about design, drawing, and
reading, which is what I spend most of my free time doing. Here is my email: hannah.liao.30018@aaia.ntpc.edu.tw, feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the issues! Lastly, I can’t wait to see you all in November!
