FCW receives hundreds
of nominations for the Federal 100, and an independent panel of judges reviews every
one to identify the most worthy winners each year. The experts, all of them past winners themselves, are the Federal 100’s “secret sauce,” and FCW is grateful for their time and expertise.This year’s panel is profiled below.
