OUR HISTORY
In February 2012, CMA Sri Lanka gave an opportunity to some students to participate for an event organised by the Students’ Society in Cochin Chapter, in Kerala, India. These students returned to the island with an ambition of establishing a student body of its kind for our students as well. Need of a student’s body was a long-time dream of many CMA students. However this could not be achieved since they did not have a proper forum or an opportunity to make it a reality.
Finally with the initiative of Professor Lakshman R Watawala – President, CMA Sri Lanka, we have formed the “CMA Students’ Guild” (CSG) to help the students to go ahead and beyond their profession. From there onwards, CSG was approaching the students in many ways and was contributing to improve them in their profession. Also Mr. Ruchira Perera, the Chairman of Students and Members affairs, has been the backbone of the CSG since the inception of CSG.
We Started with 12 Active Students and we have more than 30 student members exclusive of committee office –bearers

HIGHLIGHTS OF CSG SINCE 2012
During the year CSG was able to conduct many activities to improve the awareness among the students about CSG. Our committee members visited a few tuition providers and classes directly on this purpose. Furthermore by getting linked with students through social networks like Face book & Twitter, CSG could improve the interrelation with students and among them self.
