Coronavirus Resource Center

Welcome to the ACT-IAC Coronavirus Resource Center. We are closely monitoring health updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), federal guidelines set forth by U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and directives from the Washington, DC mayor’s office on Coronavirus COVID-19 as they become available.  Your health and safety is of paramount importance to us.

We’ve created this Coronavirus Resource Center to help keep you abreast of the status of upcoming ACT-IAC events and to also share with you information provided to us by government agencies. 

Please return to this web page frequently to learn the status of other upcoming ACT-IAC events and activities.  

If you have any specific concerns or questions, please feel free to contact the appropriate ACT-IAC staff member directly, or send an email to act-iac@actiac.org and we’ll be happy to address your issue/concern.  We appreciate your patience and support during this time of uncertainty.  Thank you for being a valued contributor to the ACT-IAC community and for continuing to help us make a positive difference in the federal technology community. 

Announcements

ACT-IAC Office Closed.  Dear Members of the ACT-IAC family, as we as nation continue to grapple with ways to slow the rate of transmission for novel coronavirus (COVID 19), we have decided to follow the plans of most local school systems and commence mandatory telework for ACT-IAC employees through the end of June.  During this time, the ACT-IAC offices will be closed, but the ACT-IAC professional staff will all be on-line and connected; available to answer your calls/emails and continue conducting the business of ACT-IAC in the days ahead.  We will continue to update you on upcoming events/changing situations both through our daily email, the ACT-IAC News Flash and here on the ACT-IAC Coronavirus Resource Center.  We greatly appreciate your continued support as we navigate our way through these challenging times.  Our primary concern remains everyone’s safety and well-being.
