The annual Eddies Awards are an opportunity to amplify, celebrate, and learn from advocacy campaigns and leaders driving impactful policy change for every student in every community.
The Eddies help show progress for students and the power of advocacy—a message that feels more important than ever.
Each year, a committee of Network leaders shares feedback and insight on how to strengthen the Eddies, ensuring the categories, finalists, and winners are representative of the work happening across the Network.
We’re grateful to the leaders listed below for helping guide the 2026 Eddies Awards.
