SUMMARY:ACES and The Nature Conservancy Presents Witness to Water: A photographer’s lifelong journey
DESCRIPTION:Witness to Water follows the Colorado River from its pristine headwaters in the Rocky Mountains to its altered and endangered end in the Sonoran Desert. In this immersive multimedia presentation and book launch celebration\, acclaimed National Geographic photographer and filmmaker Pete McBride shares images\, videos\, and sound from decades spent documenting the river from source to sea—or dry delta—and its many tributaries\, from the Roaring Fork to the Gila and beyond. \nThrough travel by packraft\, on foot\, and from the air\, McBride bears witness to both the river’s extraordinary beauty and the immense pressures placed upon it. The program features brand-new work from recent visits to emerging conservation pockets in the Colorado River Delta and newly revealed slot canyons in Lake Powell\, landscapes hidden underwater for a lifetime\, alongside Indigenous and local perspectives that deepen the story. \nA Roaring Fork Valley native\, McBride brings a deeply personal lens to this presentation\, weaving together his films\, assignments\, and books into a comprehensive\, engaging\, and hopeful portrait. Both an elegy and a call to action\, Witness to Water is an unforgettable exploration of a river in peril—and a reminder of what is at stake for the wild watersheds that sustain us all. \nA Q&A and book signing will take place at the end of the event.

SUMMARY:Changemaker Speaker Series Jean Fruth: Inside America's Favorite Pastime
DESCRIPTION:Jean Fruth’s trajectory as one of baseball’s preeminent photographers has taken her on a round-the-horn tour of the sport’s most indelible landmarks. Growing up in New York City\, Jean’s earliest memories are of her Grandfather listening to his beloved New York Mets on a tiny transistor radio. In school\, Jean fell in love with the alchemy of photography. When she moved west as a young adult she immersed herself in the business\, becoming a portrait photographer in the wine country of California. When life got busy and she found herself spending hours at the field of her son’s Little League games\, she started shooting the action\, eventually submitting images to the local paper. That’s when the local editor spotted her keen eye for sports photography and invited her to submit more. Jean tried her hand at different sports but found that nothing compared to the art and poetry of baseball. To outsiders\, it’s a slow-moving sport; to aficionados\, it’s an orchestra of strategy\, timing\, and sheer athleticism. \nThrough her journey\, Jean has recognized the transformative power of baseball to help young people develop strength\, skills\, friendships\, and to learn and practice the concept of teamwork. As a result\, together with her partner\, former Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson\, she formed a non-profit organization called Grassroots Baseball\, to promote and celebrate the amateur game around the globe\, with a focus on encouraging interest and participation at the youngest levels. She is documenting their journey in a series of books\, starting with Grassroots Baseball: Where Legends Begin (Simon & Schuster\, 2019) with an introduction by Cal Ripken\, Jr.\, and an afterword by Johnny Bench.
