The Air Force Enlisted Village (AFEV), was recognized by LeadingAge Florida at its 56th Annual Convention and Exposition last month. AFEV received the Excellence in Collaboration Award for exceptional response and relief efforts following Hurricane Michael and delivering more than $460,000 in aid.
“All of us at the Air Force Enlisted Village, Bob Hope Village, and Hawthorn House are humbled by this recognition,” AFEV President and CEO Brooke McLean said. “I am blessed to be part of this amazing team. The really fun part of working at the AFEV is breaking a sweat and knowing we make a difference for those inside and outside of our community.”
