We are excited to announce that our featured speaker will be Allen Hill, is the Chief Information Officer (CIO) leading the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), within the Office of the Managing Director (OMD) for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Chief Information Officer oversees an approximately $109M IT portfolio providing technology support to 19 Bureaus and Offices that utilize over 300 systems across the Commission—including providing Information Technology (IT) support to FCC Auctions, which have produced over $23B in revenue this year. As CIO, Allen oversees IT enterprise planning and performance, operations, cybersecurity, budget and acquisition, engineering and architecture, applications development and support, data and policy, and stakeholder relations for the agency. Allen’s expertise and knowledge of all aspects of IT development, deployment, and information security, combined with his demonstrated ability to provide executive leadership over complex IT portfolios, supports the FCC’s ability to execute the modernization of IT operations enterprise-wide.

Launched in March, 2021, this Meetup provides opportunities for cybersecurity professional development and networking for anybody in the greater Loudoun County, VA area. We’re open to cyber practitioners, consultants, trainers, policymakers, software vendors, students, etc. This Meetup is intended as an informal forum for the people who seek knowledge of the current state, status, challenges, successes, and emerging topics in governmental and general cybersecurity technologies.

As of June, 2021, we have transitioned to in-person meetings. Meetings will feature a speaker on a topic of interest for about 20-30 minutes, encouraging questions and discussion, and then allow for networking to include announcements by jobseekers/employers and startups who want to give their elevator pitch on a new cyber company, idea, or technology. Join this conversation as we discuss the most important issues of the day, as they concern the intersections of technology, government, business, and people.

If you require a reasonable accommodation for any type of disability in order to participate in Loudoun County Cybersecurity Professionals, please contact Katie Fleger at 703-737-8612 (TTY 711). Three business days advance notice is requested.
