Resort Resilience Town Hall
Resort Trades, the timeshare industry’s news journal distributed to every resort in the U.S., will hold an interactive town hall on May 21, 2020 at 1:55 p.m. EDT. Focusing on Resort Resilience, the free event, made available by The Contact Group and co-sponsored by CustomerCount®, will feature key industry leaders addressing issues facing resorts today.
During this time of social distancing, Resort Trades invites everyone involved in the resort industry, including team members from resort and supplier companies, to join a FREE interactive forum as these industry leaders discuss different measures we all can take during this unprecedented time.
Speakers during the Resort Resilience Town Hall include Ann Donahue SVP, Resort Operations and Inventory, Raintree Vacation Club of Raintree Resorts, Nigel Lobo RRP, COO, Grand Pacific Resorts, Lena Combs, CPA, CGMA, RRP, Partner and Tom Durkee, CPA, CGMA, Partner, Withum, Tom Lyons President and CEO, Global Connections, Inc., and Melanie Gring, Chief Strategic Alliances and Brand Officer, Global Connections, Inc.
“We wanted to find a way to knit together the resort community in the face of COVID-19 by providing a platform that allows resort professionals to share ideas for recovery,” says Sharon Wilson, Resort Trades’ publisher. “We are thrilled that David Costenbader of the Contact Group has made this platform available to us and to our readers as it is truly leading-edge technology for hosting virtual meetings.”
Using the Contact Group’s proprietary Broadnet technology, the speakers will be sharing images and slides, conducting participant polls, and even accepting live questions, bringing this virtual meeting to life.
Prior to the event, those who have registered will receive a call to join via phone. Those who have not pre-registered may follow along at ResortTrades.com/TownHall.
David Costenbader, Founder and CEO of The Contact Group says, “One of the beauties of an interactive Total Teleconference is that we can literally handle any size group up to 250,000 through our partner Broadnet’s technology. Our solution has a patented dial-out function to invite people to a telephone conference, like a quarterly earnings call and the participants will have the opportunity to get their most important questions answered in real time.”
Some of the topics to be addressed include Owner Member Communication, Restarting Resort Operations, Sales and Member Engagement, and Finance, HOAs and Government Aid.
Following the Town Hall, Bob Kobek, President of CustomerCount, will be surveying participants to identify ideas for future sessions or for articles in upcoming issues of Resort Trades and Resort Trades Weekly.
“We really want our readers to know that they can depend on Resort Trades to assist them in finding real world solutions to the problems they face today and every day,” says Sharon Wilson. “This Town Hall event is just one of the many ways we bring the knowledge of industry experts to your desktop.”
