CPM Sri Lanka | Annual Report 2019/20 9

Even though this is a year with two major setbacks, I am more than
happy to announce that CPM Sri Lanka has stood strong, unswerving
in the face of local and global issues.

CPM Sri Lanka continued to stay on course to delivering on our
vision of being the leading organization for professional managers
in Sri Lanka. We can be pleased with the many successes the
transformation which we embraced and accepted this year gives CPM
Sri Lanka the advantage to adapt easily to the violently disruptive
environmental conditions.
Despite these challenges, CPM Sri Lanka has been able to exhibit
its flexibility and persistence by posting a Rs.7.1 million surplus
of income over expenditure a milestone, and enable over 500
new member enrolments to hit an all time high. As a professional
institute we steer industry & commerce by taking initiatives which
are innovative and continue our trail blazing work by organizing
meaningful events like ‘Evening for Managers – EFM’, Professional
Development programmes – PDP’ providing value to the membership.
Our journal, the ‘Chartered Manager’ and ‘Regional Management
Conference’ were also highlighted in the past year. We launched the
Management and Entrepreneurship Programme to be the spark of
the future development required to provide high quality professional
entrepreneurial managers.
I wish to invite you to the 11th Annual General Meeting on, Monday,
28th December 2020 at 5.30 pm via Zoom. I would also take
this opportunity to extend a sincere appreciation of the valuable
contribution made by members of the Governing Council, Patrons,
Advisory Council, All Committee Chairmen and Members and Director
and Staff of CPM Sri Lanka, for their unstinted support for the growth
and development of the Institute.
