In addition to his work at the American Council on Germany and Harvard University, where he still acts as Director of the Study of Germany and Europe, Dr. Goldman was acting President of the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMFUS) from 1972 to 1973. He is currently the Co-Chairman of the GMFUS Board. He is also Chairman of the First Spring Corporation, a private family investment company located in New York City. His collection of Central Asian ikats (silks woven by Jewish craftsmen) now stands at more than 200, and they have been displayed in Boston and New York City.
