The foundation for the Association was laid by the first batch of MBAs / MPAs under the guidance of Dr. Gunapala Nanayakkara, who was the Director of Postgraduate Studies in the Faculty of Management Studies at Sri Jayewardenepura University at that time.
The first activity of the Association was to conduct two international seminars on “Management in a Socio Cultural Context” in collaboration with the German Cultural Institute and the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute. The first president of SLAAM was Mr. Kingsley Wickremasuriya and Mr. S. A. C. M. Zuhyle succeeded him.
PIMA membership consists with different stakeholders representing different industries and management levels in the business management fraternity in the island, including professionals, entrepreneurs and influencers.
