Omaha, Neb. – Project Harmony would like to congratulate two of their outstanding leaders, Gene Klein and Deb Anderson, recently recognized through the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO).
Each spring, the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice hosts a scholarship and awards luncheon to recognize the achievements of the school’s alumni, faculty and students. This year’s Outstanding Community Service Award was awarded to Gene Klein, Executive Director of Project Harmony. Under his leadership, Project Harmony has become a national model in responding to child maltreatment. Klein is an active volunteer. He is a former chairman of the board of the National Children’s Alliance in Washington, D.C. and he serves on Governor Pete Rickett’s Commission for the Protection of Children.
