WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
Fernanda Mier
Chair
Welcome Delegates,
My name is Fernanda Mier, and I am really excited to be your chair in the World Health Organization (WHO) for this year's CancunMUN conference. I am 17 years old and currently a junior at the International American School of Cancun. In my free time I really enjoy indoor cycling, pilates, singing, and hanging out with the people I love. After graduating, I am interested in studying psychology or performing arts, and hope to continue my studies in New York City.
This will be my second MUN conference, and during my experience as a delegate I have learned how important preparation, team work, and respectful debates are. Being in MUN has helped me grow a lot and that’s why I am thrilled to be your Chair now. The World Health Organization focuses on improving global health, responding to health emergencies, and promoting well-being around the world. In this committee, we will be addressing important global health topics that require cooperation, critical thinking, and realistic solutions.
As your Chair, I expect delegates to come prepared, participate actively, and be open to different points of view. This committee should be a space where you feel comfortable speaking up, making mistakes and learning. Please remember that the background guide is only a starting point, so make sure to research further and stay informed. I am really looking forward to meeting you all and working together to make this a great committee experience!
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at fernanda.mier@ciac.edu.mx . Best regards and see you soon,

Frida Loera
Co-Chair
Welcome Delegates,
My name is Frida Loera, and I am pleased to be hosting you as your Co-Chair for the World Health Organization Committee (WHO) for the 23rd CancunMun Conference! I am 16 years old and currently a junior at International American School of Cancun. In my free time, I truly enjoy playing flag football, travelling to different countries for flag tournaments and eating strawberries and cream. After graduating, I would like to study something related to marketing and sports journalism, to pursue a career in sports broadcasting, ideally ESPN.
This will be my third MUN experience. I have been a page and a delegate in MUN, once in AD-HOC and the other in UNESCO. I am excited to be part of WHO, a committee which focuses on promoting global public health by preventing diseases, responding to health emergencies, and strengthening healthcare systems all around the world. It is vital for all the delegates to debate and search for solutions to important health issues that are happening nowadays.
This year, I expect all delegates to come prepared, remain respectful, and actively participate and search for solutions through the debate. I look forward to working with all of you! Please, remember that background guides should not be your only resource of information. Research and independent investigation are important for a successful committee.
If you have any doubts or concerns, feel free to contact me at frida.loera@ciac.edu.mx, good luck and see you soon!
