Demonstrating exceptional leadership, innovative strategic thinking and comprehensive management and motivational skills, Hale has been instrumental in Village Green's growth during her tenure, and in particular over the past year, helping to guide the company through a successful corporate leadership transition.

"We are thrilled that the CRE community is learning what we already know about Barbara, that she is an exceptional leader and passionate advocate for our people," said Diane Batayeh, chief executive officer of Village Green.

She currently oversees Village Green's corporate housing division (V-Suites), and all sales, marketing and branding services, initiatives, and practices for Village Green Holding, including business development. Among Hale's highest achievements, V-Suites received national recognition as being one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in 2016 under her leadership.

"I'm honored to be the recipient of this award, and it is truly a testament to Village Green's commitment to excellence and dedication to the growth and development of our employees," Hale said.
