Communicating with other timeshare owners through résumés

Because the State of Nevada has no specific timeshare laws, the associations are under no obligation to communicate with you. Never mind, you communicating with another owner. California has a law about owner rosters, but the Attorney General’s office would have to enforce it, to work. We are timeshare owners in both states.

With that said, every timeshare owner should have the right to privacy, if they choose. That is why we asked Jeff Weir of Redweek to write an article on our suggestion about how owners that want to communicate with each other, can. And owners that choose not to, can maintain their privacy. There is a very simple way to satisfy everyone. And we have done it. Run for the board and in your resume, include your email address. If other owners want to communicate with you, you will receive emails from them, as we have. Now, with this process, owners are communicating that want to communicate (that have a democratic right to communicate), and there are no laws or CC&R’s to stop you or charge you exorbitant fees, to discourage you. There can be no democracy without communications.

Am I understanding, if I want to communicate with all the owners at my timeshare, at no cost to me, I should run for a position on the board and in my resume, include my concerns and my email address? You are a genius. Not only am I going to do it, but I am requesting that RedWeek write an article making the tens of millions of timeshare owners aware of this simple, but ingenious, idea.

In MY experience and observation (after a few decades of timeshare ownership), resumes submitted for Board positions up for election are usually limited in length (150 words maximum is quite common) and must be confined to relevant background and reason(s) for running. NO direct contact info (phone number, email address, etc.) is allowed to be included within the candidate's resume material.

In short, the suggestion offered above might work in a handful of places --- but certainly not in ANY of the 10-12 different places where I've owned (or still currently own) timeshare weeks during the past 27 years and probably not in MOST instances..
