Jackie: My role as a Project Coordinator is to support the WorldMark Owner Education team. I also help to create and design educational material that assist Owners in understanding their Ownership better. I will be focusing on explaining how to use your Ownership, how to get away holidaying more regularly and to clarify any of those tricky questions.
