The session was conducted by Mr Deepal N. Perera, Senior Lecturer and a Management Consultant. It was session on the topic of “Surviving the recession in Business under Covid-19” which is the most needed topic to be consider after this situation.
The opening of the webinar was done by Mr Russel Fonseka, President – AAT Sri Lanka and Mr Tishanga Kumarasinhge, CEO – AAT Sri Lanka welcomed the participants. This first webinar organized by the Seminars & Professional Development Committee under the initialization of Mr Thilak Dharmarathne, Chairman of the committee.
