U.S. Senator Barack Obama won his bid to become President of the United States of America on November 4, 2008. He was sworn into office on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. (He resigned his senate seat after winning the election.)
Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States and the first African-American to hold this high office.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) was officially formed on November 25, 2008. It was led by five co-chairs: William Daley, Penny Pritzker, John W. Rogers, Patrick Ryan, and Julianna Smoot.
PIC is the committee that was responsible for administering the inaugural events for President-Elect Obama. The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC) is a non-partisan committee responsible for managing the swearing-in ceremony.
So, roughly, the former committee represents the incoming Obama team and the latter committee is responsible for the orderly transition of government through the swearing in ceremony. Although, both committees certainly work together.
