Joel Segal is an American public-policy advocate whose role in the Free China Movement is documented in contemporaneous organization records and independent reporting. A June 1998 Washington Post report identified him as the movement’s American director, while Free China Movement releases from the same period name him in founding, press-contact and U.S.-director contexts.

The evidence supports describing Segal as a co-founder/founding participant and U.S./American director in the movement’s early Washington period. The exact mechanics of the founding decision, board authorization and the start and end dates of individual titles remain open archival questions, so this profile does not infer a more precise tenure than the surviving records establish.
