The Timeshare Industry Today

First Word

President/CEO Jason Gamel

Greetings ARDA Members! While we won't be seeing you in South Florida for ARDA World 2020, we realize how important it is to connect and keep you up to date on what is going on with ARDA. I am excited to welcome you to the inaugural edition of the new ARDA Insider Newsletter. The ARDA Insider will bring you bi-monthly news and information from ARDA's front lines. As you come to expect from ARDA and its staff, we are working tirelessly to represent you in every aspect of our daily business, including our legislative efforts at the state and federal levels. Outside of our government relations priorities, we are also focused on our public relations and communications work including intense focus on the Coalition for Responsible Exit, conducting COVID-19 specific AIF research and market studies, and working to create best practices and strategies for safe and strategic resort. It is our goal during these unprecedented times to keep you informed and we look forward to doing that through the ARDA Insider.
