Let's join hands and grow our community!
Our Vision
The year 2020 reflected as an intensely trying and anxious year that defined new normal for human kind. As the world comes out of this pandemic, our community service goals at CCIVA would be exploratory, innovative and creative on the ways we can help community needs.
We will be working in collaboration with partner organizations in and around Richmond to make positive and uplifting strides within our community. In addition to make our signature events Taste of India & Navratri Garba a great success, we'd engage with volunteer organizations and plan variety of programs to illuminate and showcase Indian culture and heritage by highlighting artists within our community.
The talented, energetic and diverse leadership team of CCIVA will work hard to strengthen our community in the coming years.
Best,
Vandana Shukla - President, CCIVA
