Hi delegates! I'm very excited to be a chair in PANAMUN XXXIV. My name is Nicolas Avila, and I am a Senior at the International School of Panama. I will be one of the chairs for the Middle School Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice committee (CCPCJ). I was born in Miami, Florida, but lived the first 5 years of my life in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Then I moved to Panama and have lived here since.
My first experience with debate was in 5th grade, when I was assigned a project to serve as a delegate in a model United Nations for my grade. Then, I participated in PANAMUN XXXI in 2023 and continued to serve as a delegate until my final conference, PANAMUN XXXIII, in 2025. And now, for my final year at PANAMUN, I'm thrilled to serve as a chair. In my free time, I enjoy playing football and spending time with my friends and family. PANAMUN is a great way to explore passion for debating and developing public speaking skills. I ask you to show respect for delegates, chairs, and staff members. I look forward to meeting all of you, and feel free to reach out to me if you have any concerns.
