Sharon Scott, publisher of Resort Trades said, “We are promoting this award on a ‘Come one, Come all’ basis. Many of our entrants are from timeshare resorts, but we want to make sure that team members from other resorts are aware that they are eligible as well.”

The criteria and rubric for the award were created by Amy Gregory, RRP, Assistant Professor/University of Central Florida. Independent judges come from the Crossville, TN area where Resort Trades is headquartered.

Nominations should focus on the performance of Resort Managers, General Managers, and Assistant Managers who have contributed to the success of the company in an exceptional manner. Areas of contribution may be extraordinary interactions with members/guests; remarkable improvements in on-site ratings of the resort; innovative training techniques and outstanding social media mentions and reviews. Nominations will need to include detailed insight regarding the leader’s performance and contribution showing how the nominee’s efforts and achievements have significantly impacted the team, company, and/or community.
