Grand Pacific Resorts Partners with ARDA-WIN Advantage
Timeshare Management Company Expands Its Commitment to Associate Development and Industry Diversity.
Carlsbad, CA, October 05, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Grand Pacific Resorts, a timeshare management company with a longstanding commitment to associate development, is proud to underwrite ARDA-WIN Advantage, a women-centric group that fosters professional growth within the timeshare industry.
“We welcome Grand Pacific Resorts as a corporate member,” said Melanie Gring, vice president of Global Connections, Inc. and chair of the ARDA-WIN Advantage committee. “It is with the support of companies like Grand Pacific Resorts, who value ARDA-WIN’s goals, that we can further our commitment to our constituents and ARDA as a whole.”
A longtime member and supporter of ARDA, Grand Pacific Resorts won three “ARDY” awards at ARDA World 2015, including ARDA’s most prestigious Circle of Excellence (ACE) Award, and was a finalist in multiple categories.
The company has had more than a dozen associates earn ARDA professional designations over the years and recently sponsored a student to attend ARDA World 2015 through the ARDA International Foundation (AIF). In addition, Grand Pacific Resorts supports ARDA’s Timeshare Industry Young Professionals (TIYP) group, which provides associates under the age of 35 with education, experience, and networking opportunities.
Grand Pacific Resorts has a longstanding commitment to associate development. “More than 80 percent of our leaders have been developed and promoted from within the company,” explains Nigel Lobo, Chief Operating Officer. “Many of these individuals began as line-level associates.”
Associates at Grand Pacific Resorts benefit from the following industry programs:
• Monthly Timeshare Industry Young Professionals meetings
• American Resort Development Association (ARDA) professional designations and leadership development programs
• ARDA events, including the ARDA Southwest Regional Meeting in October 2015
• Annual ARDA Awards program; associates returned from ARDA World 2015 with two gold awards and the ACE Spirit of Hospitality Award
In addition to associate development, Grand Pacific Resorts is committed to increasing diversity within the timeshare industry, making it a natural fit as an underwriter for ARDA-WIN Advantage.
Marianela Atencio, Director of People and Culture at Grand Pacific Resorts explains, “Diversity is one of the reasons Grand Pacific Resorts is such a great place to work. We want to foster even greater inclusivity within our company and throughout the industry.”
