2020 Federal 100
Note: All Federal 100 and Eagle judges participate in a personal capacity, and the judging takes place outside normal business hours. Their participation and selections in no way represent official endorsements by their organizations.
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, he or she is retired from future consideration for Federal 100 awards. Former Eagle winners and other long-standing community leaders serve as judges for the program.
