Letter from the chair
“Don't mistake politeness for lack of strength.” — Sonia Sotomayor
Dear Senators,
Greetings to the U.S. Senate. My name is Victoria Merchan and along with my co-president we are prepared and delighted to preside over the committee where we know we’ll see talent, dominance and assertance. Mun’s have been a part of me since 4th grade, and to be able to be a guide to other people starting on this exhilarating journey makes me certain that all hard work is rewarded.
In this eighth edition of ASMUN we will be presiding over The United States Senate, which is the key congress to decide over The United States’ actions and create the bills that structure the country. I will give my best efforts to honor the Senate and replicate it to the best of my abilities.
Furthermore, I'd like for all delegates to speak their minds, jump over the line of possibilities, and contribute to our future. It’s the actions today that will exert influence on the comings of tomorrow. With gratitude, I’m fully confident the committee awaits nothing short of greatness and ideas beyond our world. We hope you will enjoy this experience as much as we will.
