Nehemiah Leaders Programs Change Makers
About Change Makers
The Sacramento Bee’s Equity Lab and the Nehemiah Emerging Leaders Program produces an annual list of Change Makers working in and for the Black, AAPI and Hispanic communities, a roster of people who are transforming Sacramento and the greater region. We aim to elevate a class of leaders characterized by their commitment to making the Sacramento region fairer and more just.
What Is a Change Maker?
These individuals stand out as innovative problem-solvers. They find solutions for critical issues in our communities through their respective lines of work. They are dynamic leaders who infuse history and culture in the work they do. They focus on improving the lives and well-being of others. They are change makers, up-and-coming leaders and talented high achievers with the potential to grow.
Change Makers Transform Their Communities
Each of our lists of 20 Sacramento Change Makers consists of individuals in the Sacramento area who have transformed communities through leadership, innovation, altruism, and style, and are published in special editions of the Sacramento Bee as well as celebrated at an annual awards ceremony.
