Stephanie Peterson, Executive Vacation Counselor at Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Waikoloa Beach Resort is one of the winners of the 2012 American Resort Development Association of Hawaii (ARDA-Hawaii) “Timeshare with Aloha” Award.

ARDA Hawaii Award for Hawaii Timeshare Employee Excellence

The award was expressly developed to recognize individuals for their dedicated service and excellence in the workplace. One outstanding timeshare industry employee from Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii is recognized as a “Timeshare with Aloha” awardee (total of  four recipients). Each award winner receives a two-night stay at a Hawaii timeshare resort plus $1,000 to spend during his or her Hawaii timeshare vacation.

ARDA-Hawaii chairperson, Daniel Dinell explains, “Stephanie is precisely the kind of above-and-beyond individual who inspired us to launch the Timeshare with Aloha Awards.”

ARDA-Hawaii, which is the local chapter of the American Resort Development Association, says that Hawaii timeshares account for 13 percent of Hawaii’s visitor lodging inventory and thousands of jobs for residents.

Dinell adds, “Though many vacation destinations offer sun, sand, and surf, exceptional individuals like Stephanie truly set Hawaii apart. We are thankful to her and the many hospitality employees who make the Islands a place people long to discover – and rediscover – by embodying the Aloha State’s unique culture.”
