Federal Web Managers Council

Established in 2004, its current mission is to provide opportunities for collaboration among U.S. government Web and new media professionals.

Among other activities, the Web Council organizes training events and conferences through Digital.gov (formerly DigitalGov University and Web Manager University), coordinates the work of its various Sub-Councils, and helps modernize federal policies to enhance the online delivery of government services and information.

It was founded in January 2004 at the request of the Office of Management and Budget by the Interagency Committee on Government Information (ICGI).
