The Management Club, more commonly known as TMC, will hold a presentation on “System change – a path to a better tomorrow – The way forward” by top business professional Suresh Shah on 16 November at 6.00 p.m. at TMC host hotel Galadari Colombo.

Shah is a Fellow Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka. He is a Past Chairman of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce and of the Employers Federation of Ceylon. Previously, he has served as a Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka, a member of Council of the University of Moratuwa and a member of the Monetary Policy Consultative Committee of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.

He served as CEO and Board Member of a public listed company for 30 years prior to retirement. He currently sits as an independent, non-executive director on a number of listed and private entities whilst serving as chairman in two of them. He also heads the SOE Reform Unit of the Government.

TMC said a country free of poverty, a people bound by a one Sri Lankan identity although proud of their diverse culture and heritage, a nation steeped in liberal, democratic values.

“If we are to succeed, our education system must focus on human values as much as it does on the sciences, we must learn to celebrate rather than fear our diversity and let people live the life they wish to and not force them to conform to the ideas of those who lead,” TMC said. “As for prosperity, let’s create sustainable jobs that feed goods and services to overseas markets as much as they do the local sector. Let’s bind all this together with a constitutional and legal framework that keeps our political leadership on the straight and narrow whilst treating all citizens equally,” TMC added.

It said the presentation will be useful for the both private and public sector and its representatives.
