past committees
Sinhalese Cultural Forum was first established in 1990
Each year an executive committee was appointed and the organisation is continued its operations over 25 years continuously.
There have been large number of volunteers worked hard to establish the Sinhalese Cultural Forum to the status we are in now.
We have captured details of all committee members those who served in executive committees from the very beginning in this page.
