CILT Sri Lanka earns “Territory” status:
CILT's International Convention and AGM in Sri Lanka in 2013
The Council of Trustees of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and
Transport (CILT), United Kingdom announced the upgrade of the status of
CILT Sri Lanka from a Branch to a Territory recently. In doing so, the
Council of Trustees recognised the high standards of performance,
governance and membership development evidenced in CILT Sri Lanka over
the past several years.
The award, made at the International Convention and Annual General
Meeting held in Birmingham, UK last month was presented by HRH Princess
Anne, the Princess Royal and Patroness of CILT, UK to Romesh David,
Chairman, CILT Sri Lanka, on behalf of CILT Sri Lanka. In her address to
the Convention, Princess Anne remarked that she was especially pleased
to assist in recognising those who had gone the extra mile and added
extra value to the Institute and noted the important new status of Sri
Lanka as a Territorial Organisation.
"The award of territory status to Sri Lanka reflects the hard work
and strength of organisation the local CILT has delivered over a number
of years. To be awarded this a year ahead of the International
Convention to be held in Sri Lanka in 2013 will enable the transfer of
accountabilities to the local team, and for the International Convention
to be led by a country that fully meets the aspirations of growth and
development of our organisation”, said Prof Alan Waller, International
President of the CILT.
The CILT International Convention and AGM 2013 will be hosted in
Colombo from 2nd to 7th June 2013. “This is a much anticipated event by
all quarters of the industry and will place Sri Lanka firmly on the map
of CILT member nations,” said Romesh David at the recently held Annual
General Meeting of CILT Sri Lanka.

established global professional body. The Chartered Institute of
Logistics and Transport is the leading professional body associated with
