Just what is the Information Technology Advisory Committee (ITAC)

The ITAC was established as a special committee in 2006 by the International Fuel Tax Association, Inc. (IFTA, Inc.) Board of Trustees (Board). The ITAC was to review information technology solutions proposed by IFTA, Inc. information technology (IT) staff to determine if they meet the needs of the IFTA user community. The purpose of the ITAC is to identify user needs and recommend IT proposals to the Board. The ITAC works to enhance information technology capabilities of the IFTA, Inc. and its stakeholders involved in the administration of the IFTA.

Since 2006, the roll of ITAC as grown
