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.”
