Vacation Ownership Council
The CFHLA Vacation Ownership Council brings together professionals from CFHLA member vacation ownership resorts and resort management companies to collaborate on issues and priorities that impact the vacation ownership industry across Central Florida.
The Council provides a forum for members to discuss industry trends, share best practices, strengthen professional relationships, and address legislative and regulatory matters affecting the industry. Through collaboration and ongoing engagement, the Council supports professional development, fosters industry partnerships, and advances the success of Central Florida’s vacation ownership community.
Council leadership is elected annually in the fourth quarter.
For additional information about the Vacation Ownership Council, please contact Melanie Anesh, Director of Industry Relations and Community Impact, at melanie.anesh@cfhla.org.
