For the forthcoming calendar year, the organisation will be led by Sarath Gamage, who was the immediate past President of the Institute of Supply and Materials Management of Sri Lanka (ISMM). Prior to becoming the President of the OPA, he held the post of President Elect, Vice President and Chairman of several standing and sector committees of the OPA for almost 10 years.

He organised the 36th Annual Conference held from 9-10 August at Kingsbury, Colombo which is the flagship event of the OPA in a grand manner, and the event was graced by President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
