Single Delegate Specialized Committee

Committee Summary
Topic: The Union of Canada, The United States, and Mexico (2042)
Committee Summary: Welcome to a Unified North America, 2042, the world’s emerging superpower. Through the union of Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico, North America has the potential to be the most powerful and influential nation on the planet. With more land, resources, diverse climates and a greater economy than any other country, this union has an advantage in every aspect. However, without concrete infrastructure and governance framework, this country is vulnerable from all fronts.
In this session, delegates will build this superpower from the ground up, unifying the three nations and taking into consideration their varying forms of governance. From tackling complex issues such as designing legal frameworks to developing a common currency, delegates must coordinate efforts to build a lasting and sustainable future for North America.
Meet The Staff
Mayukha Talinki
Chair
Dear Delegates,
My name is Mayukha Talinki and I’m ecstatic to be your chair for the United North America at LAMUN XXI. I was born and brought up in West Hills, California and love spontaneous trips to the beach, exploring new restaurants, and binge-watching sitcoms. I'm currently a sophomore at UCLA studying Molecular Biology and Environmental Science interested in pursuing a career in medicine and health policy. Beyond MUN, I stay busy with policy advocacy, clinical and public health research, as well as consulting work!
I’m now in my ninth year of Model UN, and I’m so grateful to keep growing on the circuit, whether through staffing conferences or competing with UCLA’s travel team. Along the way, I’ve staffed the LAMUN Ad-Hoc, traveled to some incredibly fun conferences across the country, and met some of the coolest people I know. After an amazing experience serving as the Under-Secretary-General of GA at BruinMUN, our high school conference, I couldn’t be more excited to chair at LAMUN.
Through this committee, delegates will be operating in the future, tackling political, economic, and cultural issues as North America unifies. This groundbreaking committee will work not only to build a global superpower, but also to shape its identity and design the lasting institutions and systems that will define its future.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or anything you’re curious about. I look forward to seeing you all and hearing the unique perspectives you bring to the committee!
Sincerely,
Mayukha Talinki

Dear Delegates,
My name is Charlotte Tse and I will be serving as your Crisis Director for the United North America at LAMUN XXI. I am a sophomore at UCLA studying Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology major on the pre-medical track. I am originally from the Bay Area but have also lived in Beijing and first joined Model UN when I lived in Hong Kong during middle school. At MUN at UCLA, I have had the opportunity to staff conferences and be a part of the travel team where I have met some of my closest friends. I have also had the honor of serving as the Undersecretary General of ECOSOC and Specialized committees at BruinMUN 33, MUN at UCLA’s high school conference.
Outside of MUN, I am involved in clinical research investigating the role of TREK-1 potassium channels in Human Alveolar Epithelial cells, community service with Timmy Global Health and ACE Free Clinic and part of UCLA Club Golf and Badminton. In my free time, I love playing golf, traveling, going to the beach and trying out new food spots.
I am so excited to see how all your ideas reflect the changing political, economic and governance framework of the emerging world superpower that is a united North America. I encourage you to work collaboratively and creatively, bringing your imaginations to life while molding the future of the world.
