1. To serve as a key resource for its members to exchange valuable information, forms, and practical approaches to legal issues;
2. To act as a center of excellence within the ACC in the practice areas of information technology, privacy, data protection, ecommerce, outsourcing, the Internet and related areas;
3. To foster the professional development of its members through education and networking opportunities; and,
4. To promote the development of best practices in the practice areas covered by the Committee.

The Committee meets, holds events and shares information on a regular basis throughout the year, including in monthly calls, web casts, presentations at the ACC Annual Meeting, written and electronic materials, and events co-sponsored with local ACC Chapters.

The Committee maintains its own web site using open source software, freeware and other widely available technology. This extranet facilitates communication and information sharing among the Committee members via the Internet and social networks.  The web site also serves as a fun, real-world learning experience for members to enhance their familiarity with new technologies and the application of associated laws and regulations.
