The WorldMark Board of Directors plays an essential role for the club and is committed to serving you. As the 2024 election and Annual Owner Meeting nears, this is your one-stop shop for election-related information.

Every year, WorldMark owners are invited to vote for their Board of Directors. Beginning in late September or early October, you should receive your voting materials in the mail. 

You can also find detailed candidate information in the Meet the Candidates section of your club website.
 

Each year during the election cycle, WorldMark owners have the opportunity to share their thoughts about election-related topics through three annual election emails per the club’s Communications Policy.

These 400-word statements will be compiled each month and emailed directly to other WorldMark owners. The email communication must be related to the annual election and may not include attachments.

The distribution schedule of these emails is:

• Statements received by Oct. 7 will be emailed on or before Oct. 14.
• Statements received by Oct. 21 will be emailed on or before Oct. 28.
• Statements received by Nov. 11 will be emailed on or before Nov. 18. 

WorldMark, The Club is currently seeking qualified candidates to run for the WorldMark Board of Directors during the upcoming election in October. This year, members will vote to fill two positions on the Board.
