The top five Movers this past week were all from the private sector, which is a large shift from when we last checked in on the top Wash100 Movers three weeks ago.
The Wash100 popular vote will be open until April 30th, so make sure to get out the vote for the executives you believe will have the greatest impact on the 2018 government contracting marketplace.
