I indicated previously I might followup on your question, Melissa, if I
received a response from an e-mail query I made on your behalf. I did
so and offer it to you as an answer to your question:

Hello Alan,
In reply to your query, "What is I'ACT?", sent to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] on
11-07-99, (I am answering from work). I'ACT, now defunct, was an
international educational organization, headquartered at 3939 W. Spencer
St, Appleton, WI., teaching skills in RBT, with community support groups
throughout the United States and Canada. A little history.... :)) The
organization was created by Shirley Bender and myself, with Dr Maxie C.
Maultsby, Jr as president and Dr Albert Ellis and several other RBT/RET
professionals on the executive board of directors. We closed the
organization and sold the building some years ago. Shirley is now
retired, I'm administering the Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections Cognitive
Interventions Program, (CIP) and of course, Dr Maultsby is still with
Howard University and Dr Ellis is still in New York doing, at age 86, what
he is internationally famous for doing. :)) If you happen to have
another I'ACT like organization on your list, I sure would like to have
that name and address. We, (the Wi. Dept. of Corrections) developed and
monitor a comprehensive statewide CIP program for incarcerated adult and
juvenile offenders, persons under community supervision, and WI. offenders
housed in out-of-state contracted facilities. A community support
program, like I'ACT would be a valuable asset in making the transition
from former beliefs and behaviors to more preferred, selected beliefs and
behaviors.

So there at least, is an answer to your question, Melissa.
I present this to everyone on the list as a lesson in the power of
e-mail. The answers to our questions cannot always be found at web
sites. Human contact, sometimes referred to as "networking" can be
extremely helpful to our quests. So in that vein, always look for
contact addresses at web sites and do not hesitate to write a polite
message in order to find the information you seek.
