Mission –
“To lead the IT community to improve government and thereby enhance government’s ability to serve the nation’s citizenry”
The American Council for Technology (ACT), is a nonprofit educational organization established in 1979 to assist government in acquiring and using information technology resources effectively and efficiently. Working with all levels of government, ACT provides education, programming, and networking opportunities that enhance and advance the government IT profession.
In 1989 ACT established the Industry Advisory Council (IAC) to bring industry and government executives together to exchange information, support professional development, improve communications, and build partnership and trust, thereby enhancing government’s ability to serve the nation.
ACT and IAC work together to provide an objective, professional and ethical forum where government and industry leaders can collaborate on addressing common issues towards a shared vision.
ACT-IAC PACIFIC is an ACT-IAC chapter, established in 2009, to provide a trusted and ethical collaborative forum for government and industry IT leaders in Southern California. In 2007, the chapter began as a working group to build a foundation and presence in San Diego. Now, in existence the chapter provides seminars and other programs tailored to meet the unique needs of government agencies and private sector IT companies in Southern California.
