GUIDING PRINCIPLE
V-Day was created by artists and activists and as a result has a unique organizational model . Unlike many global non profits , V-Day does not have a central headquarters . Instead , V-Day ’ s small team work remotely from home bases around the world to sustain an online infrastructure that keeps the V-Day network of volunteers activists ( one billion strong and growing ) linked , informed , and engaged across the world . Through its virtual structure , V-Day is able to keep traditionally high overhead costs very low , enabling it to devote 90 cents of every dollar raised to programmatic work .
THE V-CORE IS :
V ( formerly Eve Ensler ) | Founder & Artistic Director Purva Panday Cullman | Senior Programs Director Christine Schuler Deschryver | V-Day Congo Director / Director of City of Joy Aja Monet | Artistic Creative Director , Voices Campaign Tony Montenieri | Acting Campaigns Director Swetha Pottam | Executive Assistant to the Executive Director Leila Radan | Social Media Roslyn Smith | V-Day Beyond Incarceration Program Manager Susan Celia Swan | Executive Director Monique Wilson | One Billion Rising Director
