Selection Process and Finalists' Interviews

An independent panel of judges evaluates the application and chooses the four most qualified candidates as finalists. Neither ASBO staff nor ASBO members are on the selection panel.

The finalists are notified and are required to travel to ASBO headquarters in Reston, VA, for indivdual interviews conducted by the selection panel. The travel to Reston is reimbursed by ASBO and requires one overnight stay in the Reston area.

Approximately one week after the interviews, the judges complete the selection and name the International Eagle Award and the three Distinguished Eagle Award recipients.
