From the Judges' Report
Pieces were stunning. One judge remarked, "This is what a gold looks like." In addition to praise for the creative execution, there was admiration for leadership's willingness to make a strategic pivot and and a significant investment in the face of diminishing annual fund performance. Results are very strong.
