Dulitha winds up OPA’s 41st presidency with elite black-tie dinner

“OPA President’s Dinner”, an elite black-tie event, was hosted at Galadari Hotel, Colombo recently to commemorate the closure of Dulitha Perera’s term as the 41st President of the Organisation of Professional Associations of Sri Lanka. 

The highlight of the gala dinner was the presence of President Ranil Wickremesinghe with whom all who were present had an opportunity to have a dialogue.

During his presidency, Dulitha was instrumental in providing leadership to many of its programs. His reign as OPA’s President coinciding the period of ‘Aragalaya’ where socio-economic unrest dominant across the country was undoubtedly a challenging period which, but of course, paved way to revive OPA’s stance as ‘Voice of Professionals’ where many dialogues were initiated, and proposals were submitted to help address some of the critical national issues. 

Reaffirming his appreciation to the past presidents, OPA’s office bearers, Members of the Executive Council, Members of the Forum, Presidents of Member Associations, the staff of OPA, and others who have supported and serviced OPA in numerous other forms, Dulitha did not forget remembering the continued love and support of his loving wife, son, daughter, mother, and his extended family at KPMG.

The event was well-attended by a representative cross section of the OPA membership, Presidents of Member Associations, and personal invitees of the outgoing President.

The Organisation of Professional Association (OPA) of Sri Lanka is the apex body of 52 constituent professional associations representing 32 professions in Sri Lanka.
