What Could Your Organization Accomplish with 400 to 500 Hours of Strategic Consulting Support?

Nehemiah Leaders Program is seeking one organization to serve as the Class Project Host for our next Nehemiah Emerging Leaders Program (NELP) cohort, beginning this September.

Through a fraction of the market cost, your organization will partner with 12 to 18 skilled emerging leaders who will contribute 400 to 500 hours of consulting support, an estimated value of $50,000 to $100,000, to help advance a strategic priority.

Whether you need a strategic plan, stronger internal systems, process improvements, or support launching a new initiative, the NELP cohort will apply its leadership training to deliver practical, actionable solutions that create lasting impact.

If your organization is ready to move an important project forward, we invite you to review the RFP and apply to become this year’s Class Project Host.

Tisha Campbell is coming to the Guild Theater 🎤📚

Get ready for a night of stories, laughs, and real talk with Tisha Campbell — actress, author, and the comedic force behind Martin and My Wife and Kids.

She’s bringing her author talk and comedy show to Sacramento for one night only.

🗓️ Thursday, September 9📍 Guild Theater

Tisha will be discussing her new memoir, The A Word: A Mother’s Journey Through Autism and Love — a heartfelt, humor-filled book about raising her son after his autism diagnosis. Written entirely in her own words, it’s honest, funny, and full of heart — a story about resilience, love, and finding joy in the unexpected.

The conversation will be moderated by former Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, making for a thoughtful and entertaining discussion.

This is the kind of event that doesn’t happen often — so don’t miss out!

Seats are limited, and this one is expected to sell out. Click the link in the bio to get your tickets 🎫
