[edit] People
Vibha is almost entirely a volunteer-driven organization comprised of more than 800 working professionals and students spread across several Action Centers in the US and several cities in India. Vibha is essentially a semi virtual organization. Vibha in India currently has a Board of Directors and we will soon be developing a National Executive team overseeing all the functional areas (Fundraisers and Events, IT, Programs and Products, Projects, Marketing and Volunteer Relations) at a national level. In addition several cities across the country have their own Action Center. Individual Action Center Coordinators communicate with the other Action Centers and the National Executive teams.
