Membership

The American Council for Technology (ACT) Executive Committee includes 17 government executives from 12 departments and agencies. It welcomes government employees 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. Companies pay a membership fee based on their total government revenues. Once a company joins IAC, all of its employees are eligible to participate in its activities.
