    Life at Golden: Looking Both Ways

    At Golden, we emphasize teamwork, whether we're completing a customer project, developing new training curricula...or even crossing the street!

    Here you can see the Golden team paused on the median while crossing busy Cottage Grove Road in front of our office. Heading across the street for a group luncheon at a nearby restaurant, everyone looks both ways while Technical Support Specialist John Plonski boldly leads the way!
