Belinda Bault
Summary
Have worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years. Before becoming a military spouse, I managed Sales and Marketing for the Holiday Inn and Ramada Inn. Not only did I manage contracts, employees, special events on the property, I was a member of the Chamber of Commerce Diplomat program to bring in business to our hotels and also help our partners send business to their business. One of my jobs was to inspect our properties to make sure they were to Corporation Standard. My degrees may highlight my Criminal Justice background but most of my years in service have been serving clients and colleagues in Sales, management and case work.
