WMOWNERS is proud to announce its official endorsement of Marci Tribe for the WorldMark Board of Directors and we encourage all owners to support her efforts.
- Let's get an owner's voice in the boardroom.
- Let's get Marci Tribe's voice in the boardroom!
- Let's make this a BY OWNERS, FOR OWNERS campaign season!!
WMOWNERS' foundation has been built around its mission statement:
Supporting Owner Advocacy - Providing Education - Encouraging Open Communication - Creating Community
It is our belief that Marci best embodies our mission statement and in doing so best represents WorldMark owners as a whole. Last year, for the first time in our history, WMO decided to formally endorse a specific candidate for the WorldMark Board of Directors. Marci Tribe received more votes than any other independent candidate and we are pleased to give her our support again this year.
You can read Marci's official candidate statement here as well as reading last years statement here.
Read here to find out why an independent WorldMark, The Club Board of Directors is so important. Find out how we can achieve this goal.
- Have you read that the developer has no choice but to increase credit values for newer resorts due to increased construction costs?
These and 9 other myths are explained here.
- Did you know that resorts added to the Club recently have, in effect, diluted your ownership interest?
Find out how here and here.
