Gold for Gartner

GBBN’s former CEO, Jack Gartner received the Oberwarth Gold Medal last week.

The Oberwarth Gold Medal Award—AIA Kentucky’s highest honor—recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a long-standing commitment to advancing the profession and wellbeing of architects in Kentucky.

Formerly known as the C. Julian Oberwarth Award, the name was changed in 2016. At that time, all living honorees received newly designed gold medals, with one notable exception: Jack Gartner (originally honored in 1993) wasn’t able to attend that event.

In last week’s special ceremony, Jack took home the gold for his dedicated commitment and outstanding service to the practice and profession of architecture.

Congratulations Jack!
