I had the honor of interviewing Bill Drayton in 2002. In 2005, he was named by US News & World Report as one of America’s 25 Best Leaders. Bill is the founder Ashoka, a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding and fostering social entrepreneurs worldwide. Ashoka is one of the best models for solving our many social challenges and its influence grows daily. Following is a piece Bill wrote several years ago that illuminates how social entrepreneuring connects to each one of us.
