Executive Mosaic’s Weekly News Round-Up    
When the Potomac Officers Club was formed in 2002 in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the Internet bust and telecom meltdown, there were few signs of the historic period of Capital-area resurgence to come.
This year, the non-profit board of trade celebrates ten years of staying true to its core mission of weaving a fabric exclusively comprised of executive-level leaders to benefit and grow the business community.
With current ranks of more than 1,000 executives from the government contracting, high-tech and other industries, POC continues to deliver ‘headline speakers on headline topics’ who have never wavered in their commitment to stay ahead of the market on issues of significance to leaders of consequence.
The retrospective in the Spring edition  of GovCon Executive magazine collects insight from many of these speakers and reflects on the community they have formed — and what they continue to provide area leaders.
The issue’s nine-page feature on Big Data and Analytics further propels its forward outlook on the intersection of the private and public sectors to unveil what strides are being made, and what challenges lay ahead, in harnessing the power of information.
