🌟 HOA life doesn’t just happen—it’s powered by the creativity, passion, and teamwork of our incredible Lifestyle Directors! This week, our Arizona Lifestyle team gathered at Sky Crossing for their annual Regional Round Table—a day filled with fresh ideas, inspiring vendor showcases (yes, even a comedian and a DJ 🎤🎶), community tours, and collaboration across the state. From Vail to Surprise, Florence, and Buckeye, our directors came together to brainstorm, share, and reset for the busy season ahead. The result? More vibrant events, stronger connections, and unforgettable experiences for the communities we serve. 👏 Huge thanks to the Sky Crossing Board for hosting and to our Lifestyle Directors for constantly raising the bar. You make HOAs more than neighborhoods—you make them communities. 💙 And a shout-out to Tammy Dixon for creating these epic spaces! #HOALiving #CommunityFirst #LifestyleDirectors #AAM #HOALifestyle
