President
Joshua Roh
Greetings! It is an honour to attend the sixteenth STMUN conference, serving as President of ECOSOC. I am Joshua Roh, a junior at Taipei European School (TES). My very first conference was STMUN XI, and though the names and faces of the chairs fade away, I will never forget the experience. I cannot thank them enough, and I hope I can also step into the role of chairing to make this conference memorable and meaningful for all my delegates. STMUN marks my 17th conference in my MUN journey, of which I have chaired five. I have also worked to organise our school’s conference, TESMUN I and II, which involved training younger students and chairs. As a chair, my job is to be firm and in control but always approachable and encouraging. It is a privilege to be in this position, and I will work my utmost to make the delegate experience meaningful. Outside MUN, you can always find me in the cinema, on my headphones, or relaxing with a good book. Unlike in the cinema though, I hope you will all be able to speak as much as possible. I look forward to meeting you all not (only) with immense amounts of preparation but, above all, with enthusiasm and willingness to participate.
Deputy President
Daniel Chen
Hello, delegates! My name is Daniel Chen, and I am currently a freshman at Kaohsiung American School. It is my utmost honor to serve as your Deputy President for ECOSOC at this year's STMUN conference. I have been participating in MUN since the seventh grade, and STMUN XVI will be the first conference I've chaired and the tenth I've attended. MUN is not just about forming and expressing your own country’s stance on the issues; it's also about listening to and understanding the perspectives of others. Throughout the years of participating in MUN, I have become more aware of issues that are significant in our current world. To the delegates who are new to MUN, please don’t feel shy about speaking up during the conference. I was once that shy delegate who was afraid to speak, and I understand the pressure of standing on the podium. Therefore, I will make sure that I am as approachable and friendly as possible, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Outside of MUN, you might find me sleeping or eating, as these are both things I am super talented at. With that said, let us delve into the world of MUN together, have meaningful and fun debates, develop feasible solutions to make our world better, and lastly, socialize with each other from schools all around Taiwan. I am sure you will make some lasting friends.
