BEIMUN XIX Leadership
Leadership is a very important part of any MUN conference and BEIMUN puts an emphasis on the selection of leaders for positions. Students must first be recommended by their MUN director then complete a personal interest form. The BEIMUN director reviews each application and selects students with strengths in the areas for which they will provide leadership.
Here is a listing of this year's conference leadership.

My MUN career is a short one - the only major conference I have attended was THIMUN Singapore. However, I do not believe that my lack of experience will hinder me from facilitating a productive and fruitful conference this year at the BEIMUN conference. I also hope that me being officer will allow me to encourage new officers to offer their own perspectives of the topics in our forum, and thus apply new strategies to tackle old problems. I look forward to the experience of being an officer. | ||

| Hi my name is Brian Li, I've been involved in the MUN program since middle school, being nurtured from a young age to participate in the many MUN meets that are available to us around the world. I have participated in Mymun, Thimun, and Beimun already, having hands on experience on many different formats of MUN, but at the same time learning and listening; enhancing my own abilities as a delegate, and hopefully by extension as officer. This is my first time chairing, and so it is a new experience for me, and I apologise in advance for any small hiccups that I make, however goals for myself would be to AVOID these potential hiccups and be the best chair that I can be. I'm an officer of YA, and am a pretty laid back person...So if there's problems just approach me and I'll see what I can do. And that I guess, is my short biography. | ||

I looking forward to meeting you guys this conference and to have a great time with you guys. | ||
