TBMA’s mission is to support board members and resort managers of legacy timeshare resorts and create valuable connections within the vacation ownership & travel industry community – and we invite you to join us!
Since 2011, TBMA has hosted dynamic, in-person educational & networking conferences. Our twice-yearly events, coupled with crucial news and information, provide insights into key issues, challenges, and opportunities related to effective timeshare board governance and resort management, and explore solutions and options to assist in planning for the future.
Membership and event registration are free of charge to timeshare board members and resort managers.
TBMA is funded through the support of our industry sponsors. Our conferences provide an ideal setting to showcase vacation ownership and travel services & solutions and afford educational, networking, and media opportunities for engaging with TBMA members and other industry professionals.
Become a part of our community – we eagerly anticipate your participation!

The TBMA Story
The idea for forming an association for HOA Board Members and On-site Resort Mangers stemmed from an email sent in late 2009 to TimeSharing Today from Jesse Cetano, an HOA Board Member at a resort in Stateline, NV. Because of that email, Shep Altshuler, Publisher of TimeSharing Today, scheduled a series of conference calls among several Board Members and industry experts to determine the level of need for an association of this type.
Those exploratory conference calls ran through most of 2010. The signal was clear –we needed to move forward. In early 2011, The TBMA Advisory Committee was formed and the Inaugural Meeting of TBMA was held at the Scottsdale Camelback Resort, Scottsdale, AZ, in October 2011. The late Jerry Sikes delivered the keynote address, and Jerry’s experience and support helped make that historic meeting a tremendous success.
Based on positive feedback from attendees and generous financial support from our sponsors, TBMA has been able to establish itself as the leading educational resource for owner-controlled timeshare resorts. Our second conference was held in Orlando, FL in April 2012, where attendance grew to over 100 participants and again confirmed the need for TBMA as an important resource and forum for networking among our members; TBMA continued twice yearly conferences through 2019.
Due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, onsite conferences were postponed, and we began a series of dynamic & interactive weekly webinars. In 2021, we continued the weekly webinar series and celebrated the 10th anniversary of TBMA. We returned to live events in 2022, with our one-day TBMA 2022 Insights Meetings in Providence and Las Vegas, followed by the TBMA 2023 Orlando Conference, May 1-2, 2023 and the TBMA 2023 Las Vegas Conference on September 11-12, 2023.
Join as a member and plan to attend the TBMA 2024 Orlando Conference, May 7-8, 2024. We appreciate your participation in TBMA!
