Friday, April 20, 2012 - Bruce Schneider, vice president of condominium and vacation ownership at Outrigger Enterprises Group, is pleased to announce the promotion of Loan Montgomery-Freitas to assistant resort manager at the Wyndham Vacation Resorts Royal Garden at Waikiki. In her new role, Montgomery-Freitas is responsible for assisting the resort manager with all aspects of hotel operations.
