This members-only event featured presentations by Gold Eagle's Board Chairs, family members, and members from the Next Gen Advisory board, as well as a plant tour, lunch, and round table discussions. Attendees got a behind-the-scenes look at the business and family governance systems and learned about the Hirsch family and their support for innovation and transformation of their legacy business.
