Management Club gets off the ground The Management Club (TMC) commenced under the auspices of the Institute of Management UK, Sri Lanka branch recently The Executive Committee of the Institute of Management (IM) UK Sri Lanka Branch conceived the concept of TMC almost two years ago. The objective in forming the club was to bring together managers and provide them with the amenities of an exclusive club, where they could meet, interact and network with their peers and exchange thoughts, views and ideas. The club has been set up in association with the Galle Face Hotel and it is anticipated that the TMC will become part and parcel of the planned expansion and refurbishment of the hotel. TMC will consist of a boardroom for members' meetings and lounge. Dining facilities and business meetings over tea or breakfast are also available. TMC members would be entitled to discounts on food and beverages, hotel rooms, swimming pool, billiards, etc. If a larger area is required for a function, members could reserve the restaurant area. This would provide the infrastructure for members to interact and entertain at a corporate level. The principal corporate sponsors of the TMC are Lion Brewery, Ceylon Tobacco, Pepsi and International Distilleries. The co-sponsors are Singer Sri Lanka, A.T. Cooray, Delmege Forsythe and Sign-Tech Advertising. TMC will be managed by its own executive committee who will be members of IM-UK. All members of the IM UK are entitled to be Ordinary or Life Members. Others could be Associate Members and become Ordinary or Life Members if and when they obtain membership of IM-UK. Representing over 90,000 members worldwide, IM-UK, is a leading professional body for managers, with over 200 centres conducting development programs that lead to a wide range of certificates, diplomas and NVQ/SVQs in management. The Sri Lanka Branch which is the only branch outside the UK, is planning to work towards developing similar management courses and qualifications, geared for our country's needs. |
