Announcing ASTM International's New Werner H. Gumpertz Award
ASTM International has established a new industry award in honor of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) co-founder Werner H. Gumpertz. The organization’s board of directors approved the Werner H. Gumpertz Award following their board meeting in Boston, MA, last month.
“As a result of his exceptional work on standards over six decades, Werner Gumpertz played a major role in creating a strong technical foundation for our modern built environment,” said ASTM International President Katharine Morgan in a release. “Our board is thrilled to celebrate his legacy by creating just our eighth society-level award in his honor.”
