Hello, esteemed delegates, and welcome to this year's Mazapan Model United Nations Simulation. My name is Jorge Rapalo, and I am currently a Junior at Mazapan School. This is my fifth year participating in MUN, and I am thrilled to take on the responsibility of being a chair for a second time. It is an honor to serve as one of your chairs alongside my co-chair, Valerie Brower, and we look forward to a successful conference filled with productivity and dynamic sessions. I am more than confident that this committee’s delegates will come up with innovative ideas and solutions. If any questions arise, please don’t hesitate to contact my co-chair and me; we will be more than happy to help. Good luck, delegates!
