Transforming Sacramento: The Bee will celebrate 75 local Change Makers at inaugural event

The Sacramento Bee’s Equity Lab and the Nehemiah Emerging Leaders Program are hosting an event to celebrate Change Makers who are making a positive difference in our community.

The March 22 event will be held at the University Ballroom at Sacramento State, 6000 J St. Networking starts at 5 p.m., and the program begins at 5:30 p.m.

During the last year, The Bee and the Nehemiah Emerging Leaders Program solicited hundreds of nominations and selected 25 Black Change Makers, 25 AAPI Change Makers and 25 Latino Change Makers.

These 75 Change Makers are leaders in the capital region who have transformed their communities through leadership, innovation, altruism and style. They stand out as innovative problem-solvers. They find solutions for critical issues in our communities through their respective lines of work.

The event at Sacramento State will honor the Change Makers who were selected in the first three cohorts of this initiative and will kick off the next phase of The Bee’s ongoing effort to shine a spotlight on the individuals who are leading change in our community.
