Jeffrey T. Weinland, Board President of Vacation Villas at FantasyWorld Timeshare Owners Association in Kissimmee, Florida, and TBMA member, recently provided his insight on attending this important industry event. “The most significant take-a-ways from the organization is the knowledge about how other resorts are attempting to resolve the challenges inherent in timesharing along with details about what is working and what was attempted but not worked. Further, members are offered an opportunity to network with like-minded people and to form mutually beneficial relationships.” said Weinland.

Resort delegates from across the country have already sent their RSVPs for TBMA San Diego. The Association’s planning committee is preparing a robust agenda consisting of highly interactive educational panel discussions, with ample time for Q & A, extensive opportunities for peer-to-peer networking and for networking among industry experts.

The spirit in which industry professionals, resort managers, and board members cooperate with each other to solve shared challenges is truly unique. After each meeting I have been able to return to my resort and immediately implement best practices learned from the TBMA. This results in additional value for my owners and an improved vacation experience for all who visit our resort.” shares Mark McCarthy, General Manager of the Village of Winnipesaukee Resort in Laconia, New Hampshire, and TBMA member, relating his previous TBMA Conference experience.

No resort should operate in a vacuum!
In case you weren’t aware TBMA was launched at the request of a Board Member who wanted to know if there was an association dedicated to owner-controlled HOAs. Shep Altshuler, TBMA President, formed TBMA in 2011 as a non-profit corporation. Its purposes is to provide education to its members. There are many industry organizations and events. But TBMA is the only association that is exclusively dedicated to you and the future of owner-controlled resorts. As one Board Member recently said, “I have attended several TBMA meetings. After each one, I’ve returned to our resort with dozens of pages of notes to review with our board. The face-to-face networking with other Board Members, managers and industry professionals is invaluable.”
