About the Donald P. Klein Award
|
The Donald P. Klein Award was created in May 2010
to posthumously honor the first and long-time Executive Director of the
Barrington Area Council of Governments, Donald Patrick Klein, who served
from 1970 to 2000. The award will recognize Mr. Klein's contributions
to creating the unique regional community known as the BACOG area. The
award program will also recognize excellence in the current project,
efforts and activities of the BACOG villages and townships that further
the goals of the BACOG organization and enhance the quality of life and
the environment in the region, and it will bring public awareness to the
BACOG organization for its work in intergovernmental cooperation.
