Councils & Chapters 

ACT Councils

ACT has created two councils to assist in accomplishing the organization's mission. 

• Industry Advisory Council (IAC) - provides an objective and ethical forum for government to collaborate with the private sector information technology industry.
• Intergovernmental Advisory Board (IAB) -- fosters communication and collaboration between IT executives at all levels of government -- Federal, state, local and tribal.

Both IAC and IAB are represented on the ACT Board of Directors.

ACT is proudly affiliated with other non-profit organizations who share ACT's mission to improve the government's use of information technology.  ACT Councils have a seat on the ACT Board of Directors and participate in the governance of ACT.  Current ACT Councils are: 

• Association for Federal Information Resources Management (AFFIRM), Washington, DC
• NCC-AIIM - National Capital Chapter, Association of Information and Imaging Management (NCC-AIIM), Washington, DC
• National High Performance Computing and Communications Council (NHPCC)
• Systems and Software Consortium

Chapters

ACT is committed to serving the entire government IT community.  Government employees throughout the United States -- and at all levels of government -- are eligible and encouraged to participate in ACT.  Where there is interest in creating a local organization where government and industry executives can collaborate on IT issues, ACT will consider the establishment of a chapter.  There are currently active organizations in San Diego, CA (ACT-IAC Pacific) and Denver, CO (ACT-IAC Rocky Mountain).  If you would like more information about participating in these Chapters or creating a chapter in your region, contact April Davis.
