Federal Government Information Processing Councils

Overview
In 1978, 16 of the ADP councils in the U.S. met in Atlanta and signed an agreement to create the Federation of Government Information Processing Councils (FGIPC). FGIPC was created as a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization to provide a national forum where government executives from all levels could exchange information and collaborate on IT issues.
