“The program gave me a much better understanding of the critical role that can be played in the economic development of New York City by a meaningful public-private partnership. Enlightened self-interest and mutual respect on the part of both the public and private parties can accomplish much more than either side can do alone. The Rockefeller Fellows program goes a long way toward fostering that environment.” Michael Golden
