The Jefferson Award program was founded in 1972 by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis 
and Sen. Robert Taft Jr. to honor the
special dedication, sacrifices and significant accomplishments of individuals 
in service to the American people. The
awards also strive to motivate new leaders in public service. The Seattle 
Post-Intelligencer has been the Washington
state sponsor of the Jefferson Awards since 1976.

This year's five Jefferson Award judges are:

Claudia Kauffman, director of charities for the Muckleshoot Tribe.

Steve Leahy, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Seattle 
Chamber of Commerce.

Mona Lee Locke, Washington's first lady.

Steven Stargardter, president of City University.
