Speakers: Larry Baer - President & Chief Executive Officer Fourth generation San Franciscan, Larry Baer has gained a national reputation as one of professional sports’ leading visionaries. Baer joined the team in 1992 as the Executive Vice President after he and Peter Magowan led the effort to assemble a new ownership group that kept the Giants in San Francisco. A limited partner and board member of the ownership group, Baer was named CEO on January 1, 2012. In his first year as president and CEO, the Giants won their second World Series Championship in three years. In 2014, the Giants won their third World Series title in five years. In 2021, the Giants won an all- time franchise record 107 games and the National League West title. Baer is responsible for the overall day-to-day operations of the organization. Under his direction the Giants developed and constructed Oracle Park -- the first privately- financed Major League ballpark. Since opening in 2000, Oracle Park has been widely praised as one of the “best ballparks ever built.” In 2008, Oracle Park was named Sports Business Journal’s Sports Facility of the Year, and in 2011 the Giants received Sports Business Journal’s Professional Sports Organization of the Year award. The Giants enjoyed a National League home record sellout streak of 530 games spanning six seasons from 2011 – 2016. Baer also serves as a key strategist and negotiator of the club’s major transactions. This includes the Barry Bonds signing in November 1992, the naming rights agreement with AT&T (then Pacific Bell) in 1996, the naming rights agreement with Oracle in 2019 and other strategic partnerships. He led the effort to host the 2007 All-Star Game in San Francisco and was the driving force behind the Giants partnership with Comcast to create the NBC Sports Bay Area regional sports network. Baer also serves as Chairman and CEO of Giants Development Services, which currently has under construction Mission Rock – a new, mixed use urban neighborhood located on a 28-acre site across McCovey Cove from Oracle Park. Once completed, Mission Rock will include more than eight acres of parks and open space, 1,500 residential units, approximately 1.3 million square feet of office space (including the world headquarters of Visa, Inc.), a parking structure to serve ballpark and Mission Rock patrons, and 250,000 square feet of retail, restaurants, and public amenities. In 2021, Baer helped launch and was named Co-Chair of “Advance SF”—a coalition of San Francisco CEO’s and business leaders committed to addressing community needs made more acute during the pandemic. In January 2022, Baer joined the Advisory Board of the American Journalism Project, based in New York City. Baer has served on numerous Major League Baseball Boards including Chairing the Strategic Planning Committee, the Business and Media Board and the International Committee. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Bay Area Council, NBC Sports Bay Area and is a member of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America Pacific Region Board of Trustees. He is an immediate past governing board member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, appointed by President Barack Obama in 2016. A graduate of UC Berkeley and Harvard Business School, Baer previously worked in the media industry for Westinghouse Broadcasting and CBS, Inc. At CBS, Baer was Special Assistant to Chairman Laurence Tisch. Baer has been the recipient of prestigious awards throughout his career with the Giants. In 2010, Baer was the named the “Person of the Year” by San Francisco Boys and Girls Clubs, and in 2012 he was honored as the Harvard Business School’s “Alumnus of the Year.” In 2014, Baer was honored by the University of California, Berkeley with its “Excellence in Achievement” award and received the Civic Leadership Award from the American Jewish Committee. Baer and his wife Pam Co-Chaired the Campaign To Rebuild San Francisco General Hospital which was successfully completed in 2016. Baer and his wife, Pam, reside in San Francisco and have four children. Zack Minasian General Manager Zack Minasian (mih-NASS-ee-en) was promoted to General Manager on Nov. 1, 2024, becoming the club’s 11th GM in the San Francisco era (since 1958), joining Chub Feeney (1947-1969), Horace Stoneham (1970-1975), Spec Richardson (1976-1981), Tom Haller (1981-1985), Al Rosen (1986-1992), Bob Quinn (1993-1996), Brian Sabean (1996-2015), Bobby Evans (2015-2018), Scott Harris (2019-2022) and Pete Putila (2022-2024). The 41-year-old Minasian was promoted to Vice President, Professional Scouting of the Giants in 2022 after joining the organization by way of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019. In his 14 seasons with the Brewers organization, Minasian served as a Special Advisor – Baseball Operations, Director – Professional Scouting, Manager of Minor League Scouting, Personnel/Coordinator of Pro Scouting and as a Baseball Operations Assistant. During his time with Milwaukee, he played a role in acquiring All-Star players such as CC Sabathia, Zack Greinke, Carlos Gómez, Josh Hader, Corey Knebel, Jean Segura and Will Smith. Minasian grew up in a Major League clubhouse beginning at age five and worked as a batboy/clubhouse attendant for his father, Zack Sr., who is the longtime clubhouse manager with the Texas Rangers. Minasian’s brother, Perry, is the General Manager for the Los Angeles Angels and his brother, Calvin, is the Director of Equipment & Clubhouse Services for the Atlanta Braves. Minasian is godson to late Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda and his wife, Jo. Bill Schlough - Chief Information Officer Since Bill Schlough’s arrival in 1999, the Giants have been recognized as one of the most innovative teams in sports, playing a pioneering role in the world of mobile connectivity, video, ticketing and payment systems. The Giants were the first sports franchise to provide free Wi-Fi to all fans, and Oracle Park is currently the home of the first outdoor Wi-Fi 6E network in sports along with the first 4K-capable video board in MLB. Schlough’s IT team has also supported the baseball operation in implementing an array of proprietary analytic tools that helped the team secure three World Series titles over a five-year span. In addition to his technology leadership responsibilities in San Francisco, Schlough served as Interim President and subsequently Chairman of the Giants’ Class-A San Jose affiliate, ultimately overseeing the team’s recent sale after a decade at the helm. An Olympic enthusiast, Schlough assisted in crafting the technology vision and operations plans for San Francisco’s bids to host the 2012, 2016 and 2024 Olympic Games. His event experience includes assignments at the 1994 World Cup along with Olympics in Atlanta, Salt Lake, Torino, PyeongChang, Beijing and the 2024 Summer Games in Paris. Previously, he worked as a consultant with Booz-Allen & Hamilton and EDS. Schlough serves on the board of Junior Achievement of Northern California and is an avid supporter of Junior Giants, raising over $150,000 through speaking appearances and other fundraisers. Schlough was inducted into CIO.com’s CIO Hall of Fame in 2017, was named Trace3’s 2016 CIO Outlier of the Year, InformationWeek’s 2012 IT Chief of the Year, and is a Sports Business Journal “Forty Under 40” honoree. A San Francisco native and Ironman triathlete, Schlough holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from Duke University and an MBA from the Wharton School.

Kim has been drawn to the mystery of death since she wrote her first poem about it at the age of seven. Since then she has held friends and family members in her arms as they took their last breath, and practiced the art of turning toward the many daily deaths that abound in a life fully lived. This evening, Kim will explore opening to loss as a portal to freedom with the support of spoken poems from many beloved poets—Langston Hughes, Ellen Bass, Marie Howe, Lucille Clifton, and Mary Oliver—interwoven with recorded music that moves from powerful rhythms to prayerful stillness. This offering is a culmination of her love of the realness and intimacy that arises when we turn towards all levels of letting go. KIM ROSEN, MFA , author of Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words, has awakened listeners around the world to the power of poetry to heal, connect and disarm individuals and communities. She is a poet, spoken word artist, ritualist, and guide of inner exploration. She is also the founder of the S.H.E. College Fund for Maasai Girls.

The artworks in this gallery showcase the deep desire among athletes (and artists) to participate in games that prove — to rivals and spectators, coaches and family members, and the participants themselves — that they are worthy of the task at hand. In the game, players discover that the hours spent practicing with heads bent, in a crouch, or cradling a ball, yield a grace and beauty that only surfaces when tested. And sometimes the sociopolitical context in which one performs makes it even harder. In this exhibition, the physical, mental, emotional, and political resilience required to play is made visible. When Indigenous, Black, or women athletes refuse to give up, especially when they were historically excluded, their presence in the contest changes it. They make the game wider, deeper, and more meaningful. They make a beautiful game even more beautiful.

Major international competitions where athletes compete as members of a national team are highly anticipated and widely watched media events. Such tournaments find participants facing their fiercest competitors, and often befriending them. Host cities invest in building state-of-the-art arenas, transportation, and hospitality to increase tourism. Nations finance research and development of performance sports gear, like the racing wheelchair and hydrofoil sailboat on view here, which in turn influence the sporting goods made available to the public. Given the global attention, many athletes take the opportunity to surface inequities they have encountered for broader perspectives and debate. In addition to showcasing the highest level of performance, international games spur innovations in design and urban planning, and significant discussions that influence broader social progress.

Inspired by the aura of global fame and popularity in Hallyu! The Korean Wave, the Koret Korean Galleries currently highlight artworks that speak to the idea of celebrity in a variety of creative ways. A brief survey of celebrity artists — renowned figures in the Korean art scene — includes works in watercolor, photography, and sculpture by Kim Whanki, Lee Gapchul, and Paik Nam June, as well as an arresting abstract painting by Korean American artist SoHyun Bae.

Join us for a richly informative exploration of the central role of muscle in human life and health. Michael Joseph Gross, author of the new book Stronger, will share his urgent call for each of us to recognize muscle as “the vital, inextricable and effective partner of the soul.” Gross draws on everything from the battlefields of the Trojan War in Homer’s Iliad, where muscles enter the scene of world literature; to the all-but-forgotten Victorian-era gyms on both sides of the Atlantic, where women build strength and muscle by lifting heavy weights; to a retirement home in Boston, where a young doctor makes the astonishing discovery that frail 90-year-olds can experience the same relative gains of strength and muscle as 30-year-olds if they lift weights. These surprising tales play out against a background of clashing worldviews, an age-old competition between athletic trainers and medical doctors to define our understanding and experience of muscle. In this conflict, muscle got typecast: Simplistic binaries of brain-versus-brawn created a persistent prejudice against muscle, and against weight training, the type of exercise that best builds muscular strength and power. Come hear how Gross looks at muscle and weight training in a whole new light. He’ll be in conversation with Guy Raz for a discussion about how all of us, from elite powerlifters to people who have never played sports at all, can learn to lift weights in ways that yield life's ultimate prize: the ability to act upon the world in the ways that we wish. SPEAKERS Michael Joseph Gross, Contributing Editor, Vanity Fair; Author, Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives In Conversation with Guy Raz, Podcast Creator and Host 5:30 p.m. doors open & check-in 6–7 p.m. program 7 p.m. book signing Information Source: The Commonwealth Club World Affairs | eventbrite

Kari Marboe took on the role of an artist and detective, flattening as many data points as possible around the history of people, objects, and experiences to create new narratives that intertwine with our present moment. Through ceramic sculptures, clay printed onto watercolor paper, archival images, and site-specific elements, she uncovered hidden connections between the past and present. In the spirit of Kari’s investigative and deeply collaborative approach, artist Cathy Lu engages with traditional Chinese art objects and symbols to challenge assumptions about Asian American identity and cultural authenticity. Through ceramic-based sculptures and large-scale installations, Cathy explores what it means to be both Asian and American—while not being fully accepted as either. Her work unpacks the intersections of immigration, cultural hybridity, and assimilation, questioning how these experiences shape the larger American narrative. Join us for this special artist talk, honoring Kari Marboe’s legacy of curiosity, creative inquiry, and storytelling through material. Please consider joining Kari’s family and friends in supporting the Kari Marboe Endowed Lectureship at California College of the Arts. This annual lectureship will honor, in perpetuity, her commitment to creative collaboration and exploring themes of our common humanity. Cathy Lu lives and works in Richmond, CA.

Born and raised in the small town of Welkom in the Free State, South Africa, Kasango has always known that music is his calling in life. At the age of 16 years, Kasango discovered an even deeper love for House Music, which saw to him collecting enormous amounts of records. Drawing his inspiration from South African House DJs such as Black Coffee, and DJ Kent, Kasango decided to submerge himself in the industry, where he would attend events that he aspired to play at one day, and closely studied the craft of those he drew inspiration from, later applying all he learned to his own craft as soon as he got home. Today, he headlines the events of his dreams. Since joining the industry, Kasango has had the pleasure of working on production with the likes of; Euphonik, Nico De Andrea, Vanco, FKA Mash, Djeff, Citizen Deep, Zakes Bantwini, and Micheal Canitrot.
