Miami, FL, May 11, 2016 – Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services, celebrated its 40th anniversary at its annual Party With a Cause during the American Resort Development Association’s 2016 ARDA World convention, held earlier this month.

Gilbert, president of Interval International. “In addition to raising funds for important initiatives, the 2016 Party With a Cause was a particularly special occasion. We recognized event sponsors, resort clients, and staff for their dedication to Interval during the last four decades.”

Also at the convention, Interval received two ARDY awards, one in the category of Sales and Marketing and the other in Advertising, Promotion & Communications. Both awards were presented at ARDA’s annual gala.
