While WCIC has consistently supported women in business across Sri Lanka, this dedicated chapter will further consolidate efforts to uplift and strengthen entrepreneurship in the Northern Province.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">To commemorate this milestone, WCIC organized a special program that included a Capacity Building workshop on the \u201cFundamentals of Finance\u201d by Somasuriyasingam Janarthanan of JA Partners \u2013 Chartered Accountants &#8211; for entrepreneurs in the first half of the day. The evening featured a formal event to officially announce the launch, bringing together key stakeholders and the local community. The WCIC Northern Chapter office will be led by Manager Thuvaraka B. Prashanthan, ensuring seamless operations and greater accessibility for women entrepreneurs in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">WCIC has been actively supporting Women-Led Small and Medium Enterprises (WSMEs) in the North for the past two years through the German Asia-Pacific Business Association (OAV) as part of the BMO Partnership Program. During this period, WSMEs engaged with the Northern Group have benefited from skill development programs, market exposure, and expert guidance. With the establishment of the Northern Chapter, these initiatives will be further enhanced to maximize the impact on women entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The launch event witnessed the participation of a distinguished audience, including Chief Secretary of the Northern Province, L. Ilaangovan, and Government Agent\/District Secretary, M. Piratheepan. Addressing the gathering, both dignitaries underscored the significance of such initiatives in fostering economic growth and enhancing the contributions of women entrepreneurs to the region\u2019s development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">A WCIC spokesperson highlighted the organization\u2019s long-term vision, stating, \u201cThe WCIC Northern Chapter is the first of several regional chapters we plan to establish. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2025, we remain committed to expanding our reach and providing unwavering support to women in business across Sri Lanka.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The establishment of the WCIC Northern Chapter is a testament to the organization\u2019s dedication to empowering women entrepreneurs and fostering inclusive economic growth throughout the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong><em>Women\u2019s Chamber of Industry and Commerce (WCIC) is the National Chamber of Sri Lanka and the premier organization supporting women entrepreneurs and professional businesswomen. The membership is open to women who believe they can contribute to society as well as benefit from the many facilities the organization creates. WCIC Northern Chapter will be dedicated to provide direct support to all the women entrepreneurs in the North to enhance their contribution to the SL economy. <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong><em>For further information, Contact : 076-6848080<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150415\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-02-scaled-e1741721176836.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150416\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-03-scaled-e1741721192620.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150417\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-04-scaled-e1741721208793.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150418\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-05-scaled-e1741721237458.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150419\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-06-scaled-e1741721253623.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150420\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-07-e1741721266899.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150421\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-08-e1741721280385.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150422\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-09-2-e1741721293377.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150425\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-11-e1741721356369.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150423\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-09-e1741721333480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150424\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WCIC-Expands-Its-Reach-with-the-Launch-of-the-Northern-Chapter-10-e1741721344583.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly to your inbox!<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WCIC Expands Its Reach with the Launch of the Northern\u00a0 Chapter Capacity building workshop and a networking event on the 19th Feb 2025 in Jaffna &nbsp; (February 2025) The Women\u2019s Chamber of Industry and Commerce (WCIC) proudly marks its 40th year of empowering women entrepreneurs by officially establishing its Northern Chapter.
