Romesh David heads CILT - SL

The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport, Sri Lanka (CILT-SL), held its Annual General Meeting at the Auditorium of the National Chamber of Commerce and Romesh David of John Keells Transportation Group was re-elected as Chairman.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport - Sri Lanka is a territorial organisation of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, International, the largest professional institute in the world for professionals and aspiring professionals in the field of Logistics & Transport.

Bolstered by a very enthusiastic group of members CILT-SL recently transitioned from a CILT International branch to a territory, signifying the progression of the local organisation.

The AGM saw a continuation of the last year's committee with Niral Kadawatharatchie, Namalie Siyambalapitiya and Gayani De Alwis being re-elected as Vice Chairpersons while Channaka De Alwis and Upali Gunawardena were retained as Secretary and Treasurer respectively. The Chairman reviewed the activities of CILT-SL over the past year wherein he commented on the unprecedented elevation of CILT-SL to territorial status, the massive strides made in engaging the youth and women in the industry through its YPF and WILAT initiatives (Young Professionals' Forum and Women in Logistics and Transport).

The 2013/14 period marks a very important year for CILT-SL, as it would be hosting the CILT International Convention at Colombo from June 2 to 7. This momentous event in the global Institute's calendar would put Sri Lanka under the spotlight as a multitude of foreign delegates from CILT branches and territories across the globe make the journey to Colombo to be part of this event. CILT-SL expects to put up an outstanding show by providing unrivalled hospitality, staying true to our traditions while creating awareness on what has been achieved and the opportunities available in the Transport & Logistics industry in Sri Lanka.
