A Letter From Lathan

Hello Delegates!

My name is Lathan Townsend and I am excited to be your chair for the Papal Conclave this year. This is my first year as a LIMUN chair, and I am extremely excited to help run this experience.

The Papal Conclave is designed to be a somewhat more informal version of the actual Conclave, but with the twist being that changes voted upon within the committee can directly affect how it’s run. The primary goal of this committee is to elect one of you as the Pope, as each delegate states their points and sells themselves to their peers.

Here’s a little bit about me:

• My favorite candy is classic Lemonheads (People sleep on it all the time).

• My favorite book series is the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.

• I play the tuba/sousaphone, and am in the process of learning how to play guitar.

If you want to be in a committee in which you can directly impact how it’s run, and want the chance to reenact history, then I would highly suggest the Papal Conclave.

I can’t wait to see what happens. 

Thank you and see y'all later!
