Bryan Stewart, CMCA, of Associa McKay Management, presented on the role of culture in strengthening community association leadership and service. The summit was held Thursday, July 23, at Vulcan Park &amp; Museum in Birmingham and brought together homeowner leaders, community managers and business partners for an afternoon of education, networking and industry insight. Stewart’s session, “Culture Is the Operating System: Aligning Process, Policy, and People to Serve Communities Well,” explored how aligning people, processes and policies can help build stronger relationships, improve service delivery and create more successful community associations.
