President's post AGM speech

Dear Dr. Uditha Liyanage, Members of the PIM Faculty, Distinguished Invitees, Dear Friends.

It is a historical day to our Association, where we felicitate Dr Uditha Liyanage, Director of PIM, who is taking over this great Institute for further height, after the founder Director, Prof. Gunapala Nanayakkara.

It is appropriate for us to remember our founder Director, Professor Gunapala Nanayakkara and, all those who positively contributed towards development of PIM to it’s current level. All of you may have already learnt the latest achievement of the PIM- expanding its wings in the global education sector by having its first overseas faculty in Dubai. Prof. Nanayakkara is currently facing new challenges in setting up same, and, let us wish him all the best and hope that, PIM will be a great International Institute.

I as a student at PIM, I developed a greater liking towards the subject, “marketing” having attended Dr. Liyanage’s lecturers and never wanted to miss any of his lecturers. If I am not mistaken, I got highest marks for International Marketing, to other subjects. Most of you gathered here would agree, that Dr. Liyanage is one of the best marketing lecturers, we ever had. No doubt, he is a well respected marketer in the country, who has challenged traditions.

Dear Sir, it is a great pleasure and honor to felicitate you today, and I must thank the immediate Past President and his team for organizing this event, in this evening. As the Alumni of PIM, we wish you all the best in your future endeavors and assure you our continuous support in carrying out all the good work, you are planning to put into work.

Sir, we seek your guidance and assistance, to implement our plans for the next year. We are sure that you will advice us to improve our plans in line with yours, to develop PIM further. Also, we seek the guidance and assistance, as in the past, from the faculty members too, in this direction.

On behalf of our members, let me thank Dr Liyanage, for accepting our invitation and being here with us today, honoring our Association. Also, may I thank the members of PIM faculty, invitees and our members, who honored Dr. Liyanage, by their presence today.

I wish you all the best and a pleasant evening!

Thank You!
