New President of the ISF – Sri Lanka

The Industrial Security Foundation was formed in the year 1992 on the 21st of February and was subsequently incorporated by an Act of Parliament, No 51 of 1999.

- 

The Founder President in 1992 was the late Mr. Edward Gunawardene, retired senior D. I. G. Mr. Gunawardene in his inaugural address, as reproduced in the ISF Security Journal of March 2010 pays a glowing tribute to the person who mooted the idea of forming a professional body for security personnel. He stated that “The idea of a voluntary professional body to uplift and maintain the ethical and professional standards of Industrial Security was conceived by Mr. Nihal de Alwis, who as you all know is a keen student of this discipline which is so dear to our hearts.”

Mr. Nihal de Alwis along with other past Presidents such as Capt. M.G.G. Mendis and Mr. D.I. de Silva is still active and remains vigilant of the destiny of the ISF. The trio are a source of strength and motivation for the present members and office bearers of the Foundation. Wing Cmdr.(Retd) Ranjith Ratnapala is another beacon light guiding the ISF.
