| NATIONAL CHAMBER OF EXPORTERS OF SRI LANKA (NCE) PROFILE The National Exporters Association (NEA) which was the forerunner to the National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka was established in late 1986 by a small band of dedicated exporters. Led by the founder president, Mr. Patrick Amerasinghe, the NEA was set up to provide a forum for exporters who previously had no organisation to represent them. The NEA was able to overcome many obstacles which stood in the way of achieving its objectives. The Association lobbied very successfully on behalf of its members and influenced the Government to make many policy decisions that assist exporters in Sri Lanka. The NEA instigated many campaigns to highlight matters concerning export development. As its influence began to gather momentum, the membership started to include not only small and medium exporters but large and extra large companies, representing the agricultural, industrial and service sectors. With this growth, both in its membership and its role, the National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE) was incorporated on 18th July 1994 as the successor to NEA and has continued to serve its members with commitment and dedication. In recognition of the efforts of the Chamber Mr. Amerasinghe was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of the Export Development Board in 1989. This gave the Chamber the opportunity to more effectively influence various activities in export development. Mr. Amerasinghe was also appointed as a member of the boards of several government institutions, including the National Development Council, Board of Investment and other Training Organisations. Armed with it's high profile, the Chamber became a member of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL). Within three years, the President of the NCE was unanimously elected as the President of the FCCISL, a position which he held for a record six years. Mr. Amerasinghe has been unanimously re-elected for a continuous period of 15 years as the President of the NCE from its inception. The success and progression of the NCE meant new premises were required, as the organisation could no longer adequately serve from the existing office. Once established in new premises, the NCE expanded its portfolio of activities to further support and assist its members. Publication of the ‘Sri Lanka Exporter’ magazine began, providing a forum for discussion and education. The very successful Annual Exports Awards Ceremony was also begun, along with the establishment of The Trade Information and Business Centres. At this time, the USAID supported the NCE to establish it’s own secretariat in recognition of it’s contribution to the export sector. | ||||||||||
