IAC - VOLUNTEER/ENGAGEMENT 

Opportunities to Volunteer

IAC can help companies and individuals achieve success in the government IT marketplace.  As with any investment, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.  There are a number of ways to volunteer and get engaged and we are constantly seeking both volunteers and leaders across the organization.  The staff and leadership are available to help you find the right place to get involved.  For further information, contact the ACT-IAC staff at act-iac@actgov.org.

• Attend an IAC Membership Meeting.  Every other month IAC sponsors a meeting (free to IAC members) with a speaker or panel of government executives followed by a networking reception
• Sign up for a Committee or Task Force .  IAC establishes committees and task forces to address specific issues or to start new initiatives.  Requests for volunteers are generally distributed to the entire membership and the staff maintains a list of individuals interested in participating in these activities. Most of the activities are open at all times to new participants except for those, such as conference planning committees, that are on annual cycles
• Join the Program Committee or a SIG.  Become a member of a committee or Shared Interest Group and participate in creating programs and drafting white papers.  Get involved; contribute your expertise; learn from other experts.  Experience the process by attending a program event or committee meeting or information exchange with government executives.  Get valuable information and meet your peers
• Join a Conference Planning Committee.  One of the most valuable benefits of IAC is to participate in conference planning - where you get to work closely with government executives.  A great way to build relationships
• Apply for Partners or Voyagers.  Those interested in professional development may apply for the Partners Program (senior executives) or Voyagers Program (rising mid-level employees).  Applications are accepted once each year
• Nominate your program for an Award.  Each year ACT-IAC recognizes excellence in IT programs.  Bring visibility to programs through the nominating process
• Become a Leader.  With over 80 appointed or elected positions, there are many leadership opportunities available 
• Become a Sponsor.  ACT-IAC depends upon corporate contributions to support its activities.  Your sponsorship will help this unique not-for-profit collaborative forum to continue.
