ARDA-ROC
The ARDA-Resort Owners’ Coalition (ARDA-ROC) and the Timeshare Board Members Association (TBMA) are excited to announce their strategic collaboration focused on enhancing the educational and networking experiences for independent timeshare board associations. This partnership marks a significant step forward in bolstering the support and resources available to timeshare owners and board members across the industry.
The partnership will begin with ARDA-ROC contributing to the planning of the May TBMA meeting. The fall meeting will be a co-branded ARDA-ROC/TBMA meeting, with ARDA-ROC taking a more active role in planning and sponsorship activity, helping to ensure continuity of existing sponsorships and benefits for attendees.
ARDA President and CEO, Jason Gamel, emphasized the shared commitment to advancing educational initiatives: “Our collaboration with TBMA underscores ARDA-ROC’s dedication to empowering timeshare owners and promoting their rights within the vacation ownership landscape. By joining forces, we aim to enrich the educational offerings available to independent resorts, ultimately fostering stronger communities and better-informed stakeholders.”
