MEET THE CHAIRS

Chair
Catarina Porta (Escola Americana de Campinas) 
Hey everyone!
My name is Catarina Porta, and I am a junior at EAC. I am so incredibly honoured to be chairing the Political Council this year alongside my amazing head chair, Laura Soares, and co-chair Sumin Lee. But most of all, I am so excited to get to know all of our future delegates and to make sure that this conference will be as fun and special to them as I am sure it will be to me. I also hope to help every delegate in our committee contribute to the debate with their best effort and effectively discuss political issues that are so relevant in the world today. If you need anything or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. |
Head Chair
Laura Soares (The British School of Rio de Janeiro) 
Hello delegates!
My name is Laura Soares, I am a junior at The British School of Rio de Janeiro, and I am excited to be chairing BRAMUN’s 2026 Political Committee alongside Sumin and Catarina. I fell in love with the Political Committee through BRAMUN. I remember myself then, carefully watching the chairs and aspiring to one day take on their position, as they did with such grace; chairing the POCO committee this year was particularly remarkable for me. Seeing myself go from a confused, nevertheless ambitious, delegate to now, a dedicated and confident chair has to be one of the most fulfilling experiences. For this reason, I believe BRAMUN is more than just a conference; it is evidence of my personal growth and achievements. If I could go back and talk to my younger self, I would tell her to persevere and believe in herself and her abilities. Even though I cannot tell this to my younger self, I want to pass this knowledge on to my future BRAMUN delegates. I hope to make the Political Committee unforgettable and create passionate and open-minded delegates, sharing my love and commitment to MUN. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am beyond excited to meet all of you! |
Chair
Sumin Lee (Escola Americana de Campinas) 
Hello delegates!
My name is Sumin Lee, I’m a senior from Escola Americana de Campinas (EAC), and I will be chairing the Political Committee alongside Catarina Porta and Laura Soares. I am honored to have this opportunity and hope to make this experience as enjoyable for you as well. I first started MUN as a freshman and participated in the Historical Security Council. While the experience was definitely nerve-racking, I can’t say I regret it at all. MUN has definitely become a huge part of my life and one of my personal passions in high school. However, outside of MUN, I enjoy binge-watching movies, and so if you have any suggestions, please send them over. Overall, I look forward to being a chair for you all and helping foster a fruitful debate. During the following conferences, I hope to ensure that all delegates are able to have an enriching experience, all the while achieving their fullest potential. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. |
