I am looking to contact the member base of Club Intrawest.

Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the HOA members?

I have asked directly already.

PM me and suggestions or information you can share.

Thank You!!

To my request? Radio silence so far. Wanted to ask for plan B as I don't expect they'll share the info. Thank You! for the reply Tug Brian, any advice??

one would imagine that any HOA would ask for a detailed explanation for the purpose of you requesting the contact information of all the owners before even considering granting access to said info.

Most every BoD / HOA (and / or its' contracted management company) will decline to release interval owner personal information, citing "privacy protection".
You might believe that they should take a different position with another owner, but in my personal experience and observation that is simply not the case.

Some will even claim that it is "illegal" for them to release that particular collective information, but that assertion may be just convenient (but incorrect) hyperbole.
In any case, you are not likely ever going to get that information, regardless of the reason and no matter how legitimate that reason may be.
Nonetheless, I wish the OP luck since the objective of forming a united front against DRI would seem to be a noble (if ultimately futile) cause.

Um, RCI is a business partner, a known entity, such entity that actually serves HOA member/owners. This is not the same thing as a private individual making a request for identities and contact info.

What "privacy" are you wanting withheld from RCI? If they have misused your data, your issue is with RCI first.

Good Luck With That.

Unfortunately DRI can lawyer-whip just about any independent HOA-BOD into submission.

When the HOA-BOD consults with its own attorney, the lawyer is apt to say, "You have an excellent case. Now, how much justice can you afford?"

Compared to the deep pockets of DRI, the HOA-BOD won't be able to afford much.

So it goes.

Can you ask them to send out mailers to homeowners on your behalf, with them approving / vetting the contents and you paying for any postage / paperwork, or if email, there really should be no charge? If it is factually and neutrally written, it may pass their vetting.

Personally I can't imagine them doing that, and quite honestly as a Club Intrawest points owner I wouldn't want them to give my contact information to OP or anyone else. I'm pretty sure that Intrawest has a privacy policy for this type of activity.

Nothing against the OP - I would feel the same way if someone I didn't know managed to get my contact information through Trapp Lodge, where I also own.

I'm with you there. Once the can of worms opens, it's hard to say where it ends. I already get a lot of junk calls, mail, email, and with more people selling my info it just gets worse.

Now if a person posts something somewhere about "contact me if you own at ABC and want to ...." that is explicit opt-in and I am in favor. especially because I will never opt in to it.

But precisely that is what I meant. HOA sends out mailer on behalf of OP.

It also wouldn't surprise me if non-disclosure is built into the HOA rules by the developer. Developers spend a lot of money wooing potential buyers, and a list of owners (who have already shown the propensity to buy TS) would be very valuable to a competing developer.

Ah, I understand now. But I think that's just as unlikely, and I wouldn't welcome that either.

We had a slate running for the HOA several years ago and the current HOA board members refused to allow our printer access to the addresses and wanted to approve our campaign letter.......

Anyone really want to bet those sitting on the HOA and wanting to hang on to the power would mail our letter on time or approve the message?

Was your request in writing or verbal and when is the next HOA meeting ?
Can you attend the next HOA meeting as a guest and ask the same request ?

I'm confused...

I am not at all familiar with the practices and / or processes of any of the "chains", whether HGVC, Marriott, Hyatt, or any others.

That being clearly acknowledged, I am certainly very familiar with the practices and processes at numerous "independents", on one of which I sit (with increasing reluctance rather than tenacity as the years go by, I might add) as an elected BoD officer.

Prior to the election cycle, an invitation to submit a brief resume for Board candidacy is sent out in a (quarterly, in our case) newsletter. Any and all received resumes later collectively and simultaneously accompany the election ballot, which is sent out simultaneously to all owners, long in advance of the annual meeting.

I'm not defending this process, just describing it, but this method certainly seems to at least ensure that any and all candidates have the exact same process (and the same equal access to all other owners) in the submission of their candidacy for election to the Board. Privacy is protected and maintained, as the manager (acting on behalf of the HOA, as a contracted management company employee), sends election related materials to each and every individual owner --- many of whom never even bother to respond or to vote anyhow. Neither the manager nor any HOA member ever shares or release any owner info to others, neither during this process nor at any other time.

I guess I don't understand your intimation that a BoD / HOA might somehow unduly influence elections (if I am interpreting your input correctly), nor why you might personally need or want to conduct a separate, personal "campaign" outside of the above described fair and objective, privacy protective and equal access process.
Am I somehow missing and / or misinterpreting something here? :confused::shrug::confused:

There is a 50 word limit for candidates for the particular HOA. Current board communicates rosy news to owners when at the resort and also emails/mails news letters painting a glowing picture. Long story in a nut shell the current board was/ is elected by 8 whole condo owners for an HOA that has over 2000 week intervals. Same members on the board since 2008 when ts owners went back to sleep after huge settlement from former developer was won. Whole condo owners have in the past received special $ treatment outside what bylaws/condo docs state, took a lawsuit ~8 years ago to correct . After the multi-million $ settlement w/developer once again it became known that whole condo owners benefited more then the docs say they should, excuses given for this. It's hard to get questions answered from those on the board, they delay and hope you go away, questions are labeled as negative. It is the failure of ts owners to vote when all seems well after the multi-millions in renovations.

There's more but doesn't matter as after owning nearly 30 years no longer own as of last June.

The HOA of one of my properties sells the list for a nominal fee. At least they say they do after one of the board members sent out a mass mailing during his re-election campaign and we asked how he was able to get access to our mailing information.

This year-out of 800 owners in the building I am in (separate HOA for all the buildings) only 114 voted for the board members!

In any event- why don't you start a Facebook Group specifically for this? Maybe somehow the owners will find you? A lot can be done over the internet...

Here is a FB page I found. Maybe you could post on there and then go from there?
