Dear Delegates, Faculty Advisors, and Friends of HNMUN-LA,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the second session of Harvard National Model United Nations – Latin America. The conference will be held from Monday, 14 January to Thursday, 17 January 2013 at the Commission Wing of the National Congress of Brazil.

Founded just one year ago, HNMUN-LA has tasked itself with transforming the traditional experience of model United Nations. Inspired by the successes of our Boston conference, HNMUN-LA emphasizes an unparalleled excellence in diplomacy, infused with a focus on international exchange in a unique cultural setting. Our conference features intimate committee sizes tailored for inclusive debate, and, with bold ingenuity, our delegates have crafted resolutions to some of the most important global issues of our day.

We are enthusiastic for this opportunity to bring together hundreds of university students from around the world to a second session in Brasilia, to engage in enlightening debate in a truly international community. Our staff of Harvard undergraduates brings a rich experience with model UN, as well as an endlessly innovative energy in seeking to create – to invent – a truly memorable experience. The diverse selection of committees that we offer, including four General Assemblies, three Economic and Social Councils, three Specialized Agencies and Regional Bodies, and an extensive Third Party Actors program, is buttressed by multimedia presentations, expert witnesses, and distinguished speakers from around the world. Our second session will far exceed the first session both within and outside of committee, fostering innovative ideas and an emphasis on the holistic delegate experience.

HNMUN-LA is also excited to be partnering for the first time with a host team of university students from Brasilia, as well as the host institution of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. With a wealth of local knowledge and a vast array of resources and opportunities at our disposal, we are working together to ensure that the 2013 edition of HNMUN-LA will be an unforgettable one for many years to come.

We truly hope that you will join us in January for a fantastic model UN experience. On behalf of the Harvard Team and Host Team, we look forward to welcoming you in person at HNMUN-LA 2013!

Sincerely,

Serena L. Bai
Secretary-General
