Emerging Excellence: Celebrating 20 Years of NEL

In 2024, the Nashville Emerging Leaders (NEL) program celebrates 20 years of cultivating transformative leaders and shaping the trajectory of Nashville’s future.

On Friday, April 26, 2024, we will celebrate this important milestone with a cocktail reception honoring the visionaries behind NEL’s inception–Liz Allen Fey and Adam Small. We will also thank NEL Executive Director Rachel Moore-Beard for her dedication and service in growing the program.

Because of the dedication and foresight of this group and so many NEL supporters, NEL alums continue to emerge and make their mark as elected officials, community leaders, business owners and nonprofit executives.

Your participation will ensure we can continue to empower emerging leaders to leave a tangible and far-reaching impact on our city.
