Harmony Home welcomes our new Executive Director

ODESSA, TX- Harmony Home is pleased to announce Mrs. Denise Malm as our new Executive Director.

Mrs. Malm has experience in nonprofit leadership and a background affecting real change. She has performed administrative roles in organizations including the Children's Outreach Program Director at Cross Ministries/Fairmont Park Church of Christ;  Palmer Drug Abuse Program, Camp Fire USA West Texas Council, Midland Association for Retarded Citizens, and Texas Special Olympics Area 18. She has also served on various advisory council and non-profit boards including Association of Fundraising Professionals, West Texas Opportunities Child Care Management System, Midland Habitat for Humanity, and numerous others.

"My professional career has been spent helping children, especially those disadvantaged or under-resourced.  A constant thread of every situation I have worked in has been the recognition of the fact that there were always multiple children trying to survive, or recover from, some phase of abuse.  Addressing those needs are never simple, easy, or to be taken lightly. 

I am overwhelmed by the dedication and work ethic of everyone I’ve met with Harmony Home.  Their devotion and professionalism leaves me certainly humbled to be a part of such a group.

My personal life has been spent raising two sons, Cody and Will.  Cody is employed, full time, after finishing college at ENMU.  Will is currently at UT Austin, with an undecided major.  I’m married to Russell Malm, current County Attorney for Midland County.  I have too many pets to name, yet find myself always considering whether or not I can bring home one more stray….." -Denise Malm, Executive Director.

Harmony Home is excited about the experience and expertise Ms. Malm will bring to the agency! She began her new role as Executive Director during October, 2012.
