NORTHUMBERLAND, ENGLAND, May 07, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Perspective Magazine, the global multi-media information provider for the timeshare and fractional industry, is pleased to announce that educational organization Christel House International will be the Charity of Choice for the First Annual Global Networking Expo, GNEX 2011.
"Perspective International has been an avid supporter of Christel House for several years now and we are very pleased we could use GNEX 2011 to raise more money and awareness of the extraordinary work they do in some of the most poverty-stricken areas of the world," said Paul Mattimoe, president and CEO, Perspective Magazine.
Christel House builds and operates learning centers in impoverished neighborhoods with the goal of creating sustainable social and educational impact. Their holistic approach includes: quality education, nutritious meals, regular healthcare, life skills training, character development and work-study opportunities as well as empowerment programs for parents and community members. At Christel House, children are taught the importance of caring, sharing and making a difference. As a result, the positive lessons learned by Christel House children are carried home, to impact the families and communities they serve.
GNEX 2011 and the Perspective Magazine Awards Gala will be held on May 11th-12th, 2011, as decision-makers from throughout the vacation ownership industry will gather at the world-renowned Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. The Awards Gala dinner on the evening of May 12th will also act as a fundraising event for Christel House as members of the vacation ownership industry will have the opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of the organization. Unlike many charities, 100% of individual contributions go directly to help the children of Christel House and are not used to support administrative overhead.
During GNEX 2011, industry leaders from five continents will participate in ground-breaking workshops and networking sessions designed to provide new ways to advance the shared ownership industry. The expo will also include a welcome reception, open networking time, an exhibitor hall and areas for one-on-one business meetings.
Winners of the Perspective Magazine Awards will be announced during the Awards Gala dinner across a variety of categories from among nearly 150 entrants. Online voting has concluded for the awards program, with nearly 2,400 votes cast by members of the vacation ownership industry. The online votes will be tallied with the decisions from an expert panel of judges as the industry selects the winners.
