Alexander Zhou
Secretary-General

Dear all, 

I’m Alexander Zhou, a senior at Shanghai American School Puxi Campus, and it is my honor to serve as your Secretary-General. 

I had a late start in the realms of public speaking - having only attended my first MUN conference in the second semester of my freshman year, I was always amazed at the mental acuity and professionalism younger delegates have demonstrated. Every year, SHAMUN serves as a platform of many firsts – for many, SHAMUN is their first conference ever; for half of our student officers, SHAMUN would be their first chairing experience; historically, SHAMUN is also one of the first conferences to incorporate the Crisis Committee and the International Court of Justice. For every past iteration, the Secretariat has worked tirelessly to ensure that we live up to those firsts, and I sincerely hope that SHAMUN XXIV would continue to empower delegates to challenge their comfort zones. 

See you all in October!

Kelly Lee
Deputy Secretary-General

Greetings chairs, delegates, directors, and staff, 

My name is Kelly Lee, a senior at Shanghai American School Puxi, and I am deeply honored to serve as the Deputy Secretary General for SHAMUN XXIV. I have been involved in MUN for the past 6 years of my middle and high school career, and it is with utmost excitement that I welcome you to this year’s SHAMUN.  

MUN in its own is a very special program that allows for delegates to acknowledge and ponder various international issues that are present in our time – I have been privileged to experience these characteristics throughout the past 17 conferences that allowed me to grow as a delegate, chair and a member of the secretariat for the past 6 years.  

With this year’s SHAMUN being much more special with the involvement of traditional and special committees at various levels, I am truly excited to welcome all those invited to build a memorable moment in our MUN careers together.  

Looking forward to seeing all of you in October!
