Eli J. Segal Citizen Leadership Program
The Eli J. Segal Citizen Leadership Program was created to inspire and support new generations of leaders to commit to a lifetime of contributing to the common good. It aims to elevate service and citizen leadership as central strategies critical to the health and well-being of our democracy.
This innovative program is designed to encourage emerging leaders to engage in a lifetime of citizen service, serve as a platform to promote service and citizen leadership, and commemorate and honor the extraordinary contributions of the late Eli J. Segal ’64.
Segal was an entrepreneur and a brilliant political strategist who helped run Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign and then joined Clinton’s White House staff. He was the founding CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service (which includes the AmeriCorps program), and, most importantly, he was an extraordinary friend and mentor to many people from all walks of life.
The primary components of the program are Citizen Service Fellowships, the Segal Fellows Network and a Segal Lecture that focuses on civic leadership and national service. With more than 40 Segal Fellows and 400 Founders, the Segal program is ensuring that Eli Segal’s legacy and confidence in the power of young people to change the world carries on.
