Eli Segal, the attorney and entrepreneur who concieved and shepherded AmeriCorps and Welfare-to-Work, died Monday. Segal was a man who believed making the nation a better place is the highest calling, and he did so with dignified and patient force. Former Bill Clinton aide Bruce Reed has a tribute to him in Slate.
I met Segal during the Wesley Clark campaign, which he headed up. A fellow campaign worker was a former AmeriCorps volunteer and Segal was enthusiastic to be able to talk to him. The man was rightly proud of the work he had done.
