The Young Professionals Organisation (YPO) affiliated to the United National Party (UNP) held the annual general meeting (AGM) on 28 August 2019 at Temple Trees, Colombo in the presence of YPO Chairman MP Harshana Rajakaruna. The YPO is one of the most active affiliated professionals’ organisations working cohesively towards bringing value for Sri Lanka and the UNP by creating a dialogue among young professionals. Ably led by Rajakaruna, the YPO organised several events in the past year 2018/19 – programmes such as professional forums on timely topics on the current political, economic, and social affairs that are of importance to the country; interactive programmes with ministers and the membership titled “Meet the Minister” to allow members to provide professional opinion and feedback; and public welfare and CSR programmes in order to contribute towards the betterment of the community. The YPO played a vital role in educating the professional segments and the public at the time of the constitutional coup, complemented by the candlelight vigil to silently protest for democracy and the active involvement in organising the forum with the UNP Leader and Premier Ranil Wickremesinghe titled “Repercussions of the Constitutional Coup” by Professionals for Democracy, along with the party’s other professional groups also being actively involved in social media.
