Founded in 1979, the American Council for Technology and the Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC) is a 501(c)3,[1] non-profit, educational organization established to create a more effective and innovative government. ACT-IAC provides a unique, objective and trusted forum where government and industry executives are working together to improve public services and agency operations through the use of technology.

Membership

The American Council for Technology (ACT) Executive Committee includes 17 government executives from 12 departments and agencies. It welcomes government employees [2] from all functions and levels of government – federal, state and local. Full-time government employees do not pay a membership fee to participate in ACT.

The Industry Advisory Council (IAC) welcomes participation by any private sector company committed to improving government through information technology.
