Daniel E. Cohen Award
ProJeCt of Easton’s highest recognition honor is the Daniel E. Cohen Award. This recognizes an individual, couple or organization that supports and promotes ProJeCt’s mission throughout the community and helps achieve the goals of the organization of “helping people help themselves” through the contributions of their time, talents and treasures.
This year, we proudly announced Barbara Diamant as the 2022 Daniel E. Cohen award recipient:
Barbara Diamant, Bethlehem PA, received her BA and MA from Montclair State University and her Masters Level Certification in ESL from Moravian College (NKA Moravian University). Her professional career began as a high school Latin and English teacher at Bridgewater High School in NJ. After moving to Pennsylvania in 1978 she joined the faculties of Northampton Community College and Lehigh University. She has decades of service to community organizations. She is a Trustee of the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Lehigh Valley and a 20-year member of Women United, a branch of the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley. In 2012 Women United named Barbara the Philanthropist of the Year. She has served as the liaison between ProJeCt of Easton and Women United for several years and helped secure funding for several programs at ProJeCt. She and her husband, a retiree from Victaulic, are the proud parents of two children and grandparents to three.
The selection of this award recipient is done by the organization and approved by the Board of Directors. The recipient is honored at a dinner.
