The founder of the philanthropic William J. Clinton Foundation is part of the Sacramento Speakers Series' lineup of six global notables hosted by the community lecture series.
"We have a limited number of VIP seating in the Dress Circle, and some in the second balcony," said Tiffany Kelly, the company's executive director for marketing and business development.
Tickets are $200 for VIP seating and $120 for seating in the second balcony. For tickets and more information: (916) 388-1100, www.sacramentospeakers.com.
