 President's
Annual Address
Dear Members
At the onset, I thank all members of CMA who provided me an opportunity to serve
this august body of management professional in our region. I deeply appreciate the
outpouring support, understanding, and encouragement given by members and mentors
in accomplishing a part of the agenda set forth by me in consultation with the members of
the executive body.
In the year of my tenure, we had undertaken some initiatives such as launching of
'Women Wing” and providing a platform to the same to start some activities under the
wing. The CMA foundation year was celebrated under the aegis of this wing and was
dedicated to 'Women's Day'. Other initiatives for the benefaction of youth were
undertaken, such as inculcating awareness about skills development and corporate social
responsibility programmes in some fields. We organised successfully 'Shaping Young
Minds' program of AIMA, besides participating in the Chandigarh Carnival, which
have given us wider exposure and publicity amongst the youth. Other than these, we
took steps to reach out beyond the domains of CMA and helped other LMAs in the
area to come up. In order to associate some eminent citizens of the tricity, we recognised
their services to the city in their respective fields, and to those who brought laurels to the
city, by conferring upon them life time achievement award.
The initiatives and programmes undertaken during the year by respective committees are
consolidated by Mr. J.N.Vohra, Secretary General, in this Annual Report. I thank Mr.
Vohra for his consistent and steadfast support in implementing our programmes.
Much more needs to be done by our association to ensure continuity in the agenda set
forth by my predecessors and by my executive. We need to do talent hunt to enhance
the quality base of our membership and develop them to lead the organisation in the
future. Even though, this year our membership development committee could induct
large individual members and organisational members and life members, thanks to the
efforts of Mr. A.K Gandhi, yet retention of membership still remains a worrying factor.
In coming days, we need greater participation of the professional institutions,
management fraternity and industry in the programmes to be undertaken by the
association. A review of our programmes, services and style of functioning, has already
become due.
CMA is a member-led organisation represented by institutions and individuals coming
from varied fields of academia, businesses, industry and social sciences. The association
represents management fraternity working across the full range of manufacturing, financial
and service industry located in the region.
As a premier professional body, CMA has an important role to play in harnessing the
talent and interests of its members and mustering their active and enthusiastic views and
contributions for realising greater awareness of our role, appreciation and achievement
of the objectives we promote.
I know membership is the real value and asset of our organisation, more than its balance
sheet. We, to whom membership has put the trust by providing us the opportunity to
lead this organisation, should not belie their expectations and must endeavour to bring
in inspiring achievements in order to build public image and confidence in the industry of
the region so that fruits of our deliberations and activities reach to the younger lots of the
area who are destined to take the association forward.
In all earnestness, I seek the indulgence of all those who have served this organisation, at
one time or the other, to continue maintain their participative relationship with the
organisation for working together with the new generation of leaders, emerging out of its
membership, who has energy and passion in taking this organisation forward to nurture
the domain we represent.
In the end, once again I thank the executive members, and members at large for their
support and wishes. I wish them all a successful year ahead.

Dr. Gulshan Sharma

 SECRETARY GENERAL REPORT - ACTIVITIES - 2010-11
Launching of the 'CMA Women Wing”
In order to highlight some social causes, an initiative was undertaken to launch “Women Wing”. The idea was to involve honourable ladies
of our members and others who can play a meaningful and important role and display their professional acumen to empower and mobilize
the women of the tricity for active participation in matters of city development like; water supply, education, cleanliness, health system,
and environmental justice, besides, honouring women of mettle and substance.
Pictures of some of the programmes undertaken under “Women Wing” are shown below;

Mrs. Uma Vasudeva nominated
as Chairperson
& Mrs. Indu Sharma as Convener
of the Wing
It was conceived that the wing will
participate in city festivals, such as
Chandigarh Carnival and organise special
days such as “Parents Day”, “Teachers
Days” etc. Lady members will visit schools
and colleges to spread social messages of
relevance to the youth, besides inviting
eminent women to deliver talks and as chief
guest.
We hope in coming years this wing will play
an important role to give a new direction to
the activities of the association.
