We are incredibly proud to announce that Jennifer Felix, President and CEO of ASRC Federal, has been awarded the first-ever Legacy Heroine Award by the March of Dimes Heroines of Washington at their 25th annual Heroines of Washington Awards Gala. This prestigious honor recognizes her commitment to leading with purpose and helping to strengthen communities across the Capital region.
The Heroines of Washington program, now in its third decade, is more than just an awards ceremony, this initiative celebrates women in the D.C. metropolitan area who make a meaningful impact beyond their job titles. The March of Dimes, the organization behind this award, has been at the forefront of maternal and infant health for over 80 years, leading the fight for the health of all families.
A Legacy of Leadership and Service
Jennifer’s career in government contracting is marked by a commitment to ethical innovation and a drive to deliver solutions that truly serve the public good. But her influence extends far beyond our company walls. At ASRC Federal, Jennifer has consistently championed initiatives to build stronger and more meaningful impact in the communities our employees work and live. She has been a vocal advocate for veteran hiring initiatives, STEM outreach programs and expanding professional development opportunities for employees.
The Legacy Heroine Award specifically acknowledges her deep personal commitment to maternal and infant health, a cause central to the March of Dimes mission. Jennifer has been a member of the Heroines of Washington Awards board since 2017 and served as co-chair for four consecutive years from 2018 to 2021, elevating the awards program to new heights. Since then, she has worked behind the scenes as a member of the Executive Leadership Team and building a corporate giving initiative to benefit the March of Dimes. In the last four years, ASRC Federal employees have participated in annual March for Babies and have generated nearly $1M towards the organization’s mission. The company’s support goes beyond the annual March for Babies walk to include volunteer involvement and sponsorship of the March of Dimes’ Heroines of Washington event.
Reflecting on the honor, Jennifer shared her perspective:
“As an organization, ASRC Federal has come together to support the March of Dimes because their purpose is focused on advocating for families. Their mission resonates and connects with our shareholders because Alaska Native women have a higher risk of mortality in childbirth…When you don’t have a health pregnancy, it affects the family in so many ways. Their mission of supporting the health of women and babies and ultimately the health of the whole family is vitally important. I hope my legacy of work with the March of Dimes really inspires others to get involved.”
