EAGLE JUDGES
From each year’s Federal 100 winners, a separate slate of judges selects two Eagles — the most distinguished government and private-sector individuals among those 100 top talents. Once an individual has won an Eagle award, he or she is retired from future consideration for Federal 100 awards. Many former Eagle winners serve as judges for the program.
