Members at the head table, Distinguished members of the Nomination Committee, Past Presidents, and fellow members,

First, I’d like to say that I am honoured, and indeed feel privileged, at being able to serve the Sri Lanka Association of Printers and it’s membership for another year as President, and am thankful to the membership for placing their trust in me.

The long felt ‘dream’ of the Sri Lanka Association of Printers is now a reality; the Association after successfully going ahead with purchase of a plot of land for it’s own Secretariat, has added the facet of training to it’s prime objective for the industry and incorporated a new entity the SRI LANKA PRINT MEDIA ACADEMY.

We believe that structured training is the gateway to success!

Understanding the urgent need for training, the new education & training committee appointed at the recent annual general meeting has set up an aggressive training calendar for the ensuing year.
