Speaker

Jeff Moorad, Vice Chairman and CEO San Diego Padres

One of the most recognizable names in professional sports, Jeff Moorad brings more than 25 years of sports industry experience to San Diego. The founder of Moorad Sports Management, he began specializing in athlete representation in 1983, with his main focus on Major League Baseball.

He then joined forces with Leigh Steinberg in 1985 to form one of the most dynamic twosomes in the history of sports representation, covering both Major League Baseball and the National Football League. The successful duo negotiated more than $3 billion in athlete contracts throughout their 18 years together, including representing Pro Football Hall of Famers Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Warren Moon and Thurman Thomas.

Moorad was the negotiator on a number of landmark contracts for a baseball client base that included Manny Ramirez, Eric Karros, Ivan Rodriguez, Mo Vaughn, Shawn Green and Raul Mondesi. Moorad's reputation as a knowledgeable and respected negotiator has earned him a spot on The Sporting News' 100 Most Powerful People in Sports on eight occasions.

The public sphere in America is currently undergoing a profound evolution.  Whereas the federal government was once the single central hub in virtually all networks of power, today it is only one hub among many in a vast web of relationships and networks.  We still look to the federal government, of course, to help with our biggest problems.  But today we are less confident in its ability to solve them on its own, and we look increasingly to other kinds of entities and networks to be a part of the solutions.

Today’s concepts of corporate citizenship and philanthropy are also evolving.  The private sector—including corporations, foundations and individual philanthropists—has growing influence in shaping our lives.  We look to the private sector to create jobs, individual philanthropists transform communities, and when disaster strikes private organizations are often the first on the scene with the expertise and capability to fix things.

The Washington Center invites you for a chat with professionals in the private philanthropic community for the Roundtable on Philanthropy and Social Responsibility.  We will explore ways in which philanthropy is addressing pressing societal problems in the United States and abroad.

Bipartisanship in a Time of Divided Government

Moderated by C-SPAN’s Steve Scully & Sponsored by The Bipartisan Policy Center

The Simpson-Mineta Leaders Series is founded in the spirit of the lifelong friendship of two extraordinary leaders from opposite sides of the aisle.  Norman Y. Mineta and Alan K. Simpson met during World War II when Simpson’s Boy Scout troop met with Mineta’s in the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming where Secretary Mineta’s family was then interned with over 10,000 other Japanese-Americans.  Despite their differences, both their friendship and their commitment to leadership and public service endured.

The Simpson-Mineta Leaders Series aims to create a forum in which students from around the country and the world can engage with extraordinary leaders, explore issues of contemporary public concern, and articulate their own views about the meaning of leadership and citizenship in today’s society.

Steve Scully is C-SPAN’s Senior Executive Producer and Political Editor.  Scully is also a member of the Associate Faculty at The Washington Center, where he teaches the “Road to the White House”.

The dress code is business professional. The event format will focus on questions and discussion with the guests. Research on relevant issues at the C-SPAN Video Library is encouraged.
