ARDA Inside Look - Issue 8
First Word
President/CEO Jason Gamel
Despite ongoing business adaptations and market changes, the ARDA mission to connect, protect and affect the timeshare industry through advocacy and market intelligence remains steadfast. Our member community is at the core of our efforts and your annual membership renews October 1st. This week your invoice was sent both electronically and by mail with a November 1 due date. As you are aware, the strength and organizational health of ARDA is supported by member dues and these revenues fuel our regulatory agenda and establish the engaged culture of our association. As I wrote in the last newsletter, your timely renewal symbolizes your commitment to industry excellence and offers exclusive member benefits and privileges included within this newsletter.
I invite you to reach out to our membership team at membership@arda.org with any questions or conversations. Collectively we face unprecedented months ahead and ARDA is committed to deliver you value and results that drive the strength and resilience of our industry.
