Goddard Gold 2021

Our 2nd Annual Goddard Gold event took place on June 14, 2021 and featured Jonathan F.P. Rose, Founder & CEO of Jonathan Rose Companies and Kathryn Wylde, President & CEO of Partnership for New York City.

COVID-19 greatly impacted the city and laid bare numerous inequities. This virtual event featured a conversation and audience Q&A about what rebuilding will look like and how to ensure the recovery is equitable for all New Yorkers.
