The Alberta College and Technical Institute Students' Executive Council (ACTISEC) represents over 120,000 students from 14 colleges and technical institutes across Alberta, Canada.

ACTISEC is a member-driven organization that is governed by its Board and Executive Committee, selected from its membership. Each member school is represented at the Board level with a voting delegate. ACTISEC is governed by the "one-school one-vote" principle to ensure that all member organizations are treated equally, regardless of student body size.

History

ACTISEC (Alberta College and Technical Institute Students' Executive Council) was created after the disbanding of the Federation of Alberta Students (FAS) (a provincial organization that represented all of the public post-secondary institutions in Alberta) in 1981, when a number of colleges and technical institutes withdrew their membership citing domination of FAS by the universities. In 1982 a group of student delegates from colleges and technical institutes (Grant MacEwan College, Lakeland College, Lethbridge College, The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Medicine Hat College, Mount Royal College and The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) met to form ACTISEC, an organization that would recognize the differences of all non-university post-secondary students.

The inaugural meeting of ACTISEC was held at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology on March 11, 1982. Dave Whalen from NAITSA was appointed as the initiating Chairperson of the council, and sent a letter to James Horseman, the Minister of Advanced Education at the time, advising him of the formation of the new organization.

In the onset, the group focused mainly on sharing information and resources between its member institutions, as well as professional development of student leaders. Over time, however, it became apparent that there was also a need for a strong lobby organization that would concentrate mainly on external issues affecting post-secondary education, and on maintaining constant communication with government and other post-secondary institutions and organizations.
