APB Bank Coordinators Investiture is one of the key annual events in the APB Calendar. However, keeping in line with the health and safety guidelines of the Government, it was held virtually via Zoom for the first time in history.

APB President K.B. Rajapaksa addressing the coordinators stated the importance of professional fellowship and how it positively influences a person’s life both personally and professionally.

The Chairmen of the four main APB Sub committees namely, the Publications, Continuous Professional Development, Membership and Special Events briefed the APB Bank Coordinators regarding the activities planned by the Council for the year 2021/22 and also requested for the active participation of the Bank Coordinators amidst the new normal conditions. 

APB affairs are managed by an Executive Council comprising of seven Office Bearers, 10 Council Members who are elected at the AGM representing the Member Banks and the Immediate Past President on ‘Ex Officio’ basis. Since the Council membership is limited, APB has taken steps to appoint Bank Coordinators from each bank to assist the Council to organise activities for the betterment of the banking community. 

Accordingly, the bank coordinators play a major role in acting as a bridge between the APB Council and the membership. In addition to acting as the APB representative for their respective banks, the bank coordinators also get involved in four main APB sub committees in handling the affairs of the association.
