Chairs
Head President
Kenneth Zhang
Hey! I’m Kenneth. As I approach the end of my high school journey, I’d like to say I’m lucky enough to become the President of the Crisis Committee…the excitement is something different. I have been a delegate for the Crisis Committee several times, and I’ve noticed that the Chair had a crucial yet enjoyable role. I’m looking forwards to seeing you all this year at Crisis!
Deputy President
Elvis Peng
Hey everyone! I'm Tony Zhang, and I'm thrilled to serve as the President of FIBA for DAISMUN XVI. My journey began two years ago as a wide-eyed delegate, and since then, I've had the privilege of attending many conferences. This will be my first time serving as a chair, and I couldn't be more excited to guide delegates through the fast-paced world of international basketball diplomacy.
To me, FIBA isn't just about rules and regulations, it's about celebrating the game that brings nations together. Whether it's debating hosting rights, player eligibility, or development programs, every decision we make has the power to inspire the next generation of athletes. Delegates, get ready to step onto the court — because in this committee, every resolution is a game plan and every collaboration is a step toward a stronger, more connected basketball world. Let us work together to make this session truly unforgettable.

Backroom #1
Mason Kim
Hello there! My name is Hyunseo Kim, and it is my honor to serve as the Backroom for this conference. Through my experience as a Product Design Manager, Press & Publications Officer , conference chair, and delegate trainer, I’ve learned that MUN is more than just an educational activity. It encourages students to think critically, communicate with confidence, and understand perspectives different from their own. I hope to help create a welcoming and engaging conference where every delegate can share their ideas, collaborate with others, and work toward a better future
