The Portland Press-Herald writes, \u201cNed Cabot dedicated his career to ensuring that the foundational institutions of our society \u2013 law, government, business, and politics \u2013 served the interests and needs of alle <\/strong>citizens.\u201d\r\n\r\nNed Cabot did what few people could, he succeeded the legendary Archibald Cox as Chair of the Common Cause National Governing Board. Ned and Archie were both professors at heart; their methodical, pragmatic approach to everything they did reminds us to be patient and hold steady in the face of threats to our democracy. We've overcome them before and we will again. With Archie in the news so much recently, Ned\u2019s passing is another reminder of the durability of our civic institutions and our ability as a people to rise up to even the most powerful person in our country, the president, when our politics gets out of balance as it is now.\r\n\r\n\u201cNed\u00a0had the unenviable task of becoming board chair after Archibald Cox stepped down.\u00a0 Many people could have been intimidated,\u00a0Ned\u00a0stepped up.\u00a0Ned\u00a0led the board with great skill, grace,\u00a0and integrity,\u201d said Karen Hobert Flynn, Common Cause president.\r\n\r\n\u201cNed was well versed in our democracy work and approached everything with the notion that our politics and government should work for everyone,\u201d Hobert Flynn said. \u201cI traveled with\u00a0Ned\u00a0to meet with Common Cause members and state directors and staff. We\u2019d stop to discuss reform efforts with newspaper editorial boards. What struck me most about\u00a0Ned\u00a0was his warmth and humanity.\u00a0 He was kind and took the time to talk to every person he met.\u00a0 He was genuinely interested in each person he talked to.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cWe are grateful to\u00a0Ned\u00a0for his commitment and leadership at Common Cause,\u201d Hobert Flynn said.\r\n\r\nNed Cabot retired from Trinity College in Hartford in 2016. He helped build the public policy and law program, which quickly became the fastest growing major, according to his obituary.\r\n\r\nAt The Policy Voice<\/a>, the official blog of the Trinity Public Policy and Law College, students wrote this tribute<\/a> to Ned at the time of his retirement in 2016 and established a scholarship in his name. Christina Claxton, a 2016 graduate of the program said, \u201cProfessor Cabot had a profound impact on my education and experience at Trinity. When I learned of his retirement, I knew I just had to do something to show him my gratitude and \"\"to help others express theirs, too.\u201d\r\n\r\nA former student of Ned\u2019s, Nichola Clark, 2012 graduate, learned of the professor\u2019s death in an email that she forwarded to her husband, surprised to learn Prof. Cabot was once chair of Common Cause. Her husband, Joe Maschman, is now a legal fellow at Common Cause. Nichola said she wants everyone to know that, \u201cafter his tenure at Common Cause he went on to inspire an entire generation of students at Trinity College to think deeply about justice and act courageously in its pursuit.\u201d\r\n\r\nProfessor Adrienne Fulco wrote to students and alumnae saying, \u201cHe mentored a generation of Trinity students who were transformed by his inspirational teaching. He challenged all of you to meet the highest standards of academic excellence and to think deeply and critically about the issues of our time. He always treated each of you with the dignity and respect that you deserved and in doing so, he prepared you to thrive in your careers.\u00a0Who could ask for more?\u201d\r\n\r\nMeredith McGhee, Executive Director of Issue One, and a former staffer at Common Cause said, \u201cNed Cabot led the board of Common Cause as a true visionary, gentleman, and leader and\u00a0had a deep understanding of the largest, most salient threats to our democracy. He harnessed his business acumen to connect Common Cause to some of the most powerful corporate stakeholders during his time as board chair, helping Common Cause become a dynamic force for democratic values in America.\u00a0Above all, we will remember him for his unwavering dedication and kindness.\""}}]},"yoast_head":"\nRIP Ned Cabot;
