Harrisonburg,
VA – December 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / C.A.R.E.,
the Cooperative Association of Resort
Exchangers, is preparing to launch registration in January for their
2019 Conference
to be held at the Westin Indianapolis in Indiana from May 4-7. All industry
professionals are encouraged to attend and while members receive preferred
registration rates, all registration rates are very affordable and budget
friendly, for those that may be interested in attending to see what C.A.R.E.
is all about.
In
case you missed its recent month announcements C.A.R.E. has engaged three
keynote speakers making this a, sure to be, blockbuster event. On Sunday,
May 5th, Emmy Award Winning Executive Producer Bill Stainton will
headline with “The 5 Best Decisions the Beatles Ever Made…and Why You
Should Make Them, Too!” Stainton will combine music, video, and hilarious
audience interaction to help you take your own team to the “top of the
charts!” This presentation will answer questions like…What does a seriously
award-winning team look like? What does it take to lead them? And, ultimately,
what does it take for them to really make it to the top? Bill says, “Success
is not a result of “luck”, “a fluke”, or “the breaks.” It’s the result
of specific decisions – decisions that every leader needs to make!”
Next
up on Monday, May 6th, with a Master of Arts (MA) in Human Resource Development
and Marketing, Andy Masters, MA, CSP will show attendees how to
“Kiss Your Customer: 77 Reasons Why Sales & Service Are Just Like
Dating & Relationships.” With first hand travel industry experience
and knowledge, Masters will take attendees on a journey through the highs-and-lows
world of relationship-building, utilizing the clever irony between business
and romance. Andy will prove that we must create a transformation from
doing a job to creating a bond. Today’s customers want to hire experts
they can TRUST, who can truly HELP them. However, customers also hire people
they LIKE.
With
a host city of Indianapolis, Indiana, C.A.R.E. is excited to have RCI’s
participation in the city where their headquarters were established nearly
45 years ago. Monday, May 6th will be deemed “RCI Monday” to include
a tour of the RCI Call Center and immediately following a mini-keynote
address by RCI’s Sr. Learning & Development Specialist Adrian Garrett.
Garrett will share some Key Objectives to Bias in the Workplace: Working
Together to Create an Inclusive Culture highlighted with some tips for
Women Empowerment. RCI’s Affiliate Endless Vacation Rentals will
then host dinner for attendees at an off-site local venue.
C.A.R.E.
Member Dave Heine, Timeshare Escrow & Title will share his insight
with C.A.R.E. attendees on “Traveling with Animals…Service Versus Emotional
Support.” Knowing and understanding the difference between Service
and Emotional Support Animals has become very relevant in the travel industry.
Heine will share first-hand experience in guiding attendees to a better
understanding of this subject and provide takeaways to assist with many
questions that hospitality providers are faced with daily. What’s the difference
in a Service Animal and an Emotional Support Animal? Am I required to allow
both classifications to check into my resort? If so, what all am I required
to do to accommodate them? How do I know what compliance guidelines I am
to follow? This presentation is sure to assist you and your staff in better
ascertaining when and how to accommodate specialty classed animals.
In
addition to these great presentations, C.A.R.E.’s
2019 Conference will include multiple networking opportunities
and all meals are included with each conference registration. Attendees
will be treated to some true Hoosier Hospitality and History with a visit
to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Museum. Your conference registration
will also include a “Kiss the Bricks” Tour to include taking a track
lap with a stop on the “Yard of Bricks” and a tour of the museum. “Kiss
the Bricks” is a tradition that started back in 1996 and C.A.R.E. attendees
will get to “pucker up” and participate!
