 About Us ....... >>> ....... The Organisation



VANI has a three-tier structure:

2. 
Working Committee - makes decisions on behalf of the members and is composed of 21 elected members from the General Body, which also elects two office bearers, the Chairperson and Treasurer. The Working Committee has four subcommittees namely: Programme, Networking, Membership, Finance and Management Committees.




3. Secretariat
- is headed by a Chief Executive Officer appointed by the Working Committee, and is an ex-officio member of the Working Committee.
