Dana Bracknell has recently joined the InnTrusted team as the Director of Sales at the Candlewood Suites in Idaho Falls. She comes to us with nearly 20 years of sales, marketing, leadership, and management experience with some great local companies, including the Idaho Transportation Department, O’Callahan’s Catering, Eagle Press, University of Phoenix, and Working Solutions. Prior to joining the Candlewood Suites team, she worked in strategic business development and marketing at several companies, and served in staff positions in a variety of non-profit organizations.

Dana served on the SHRM state council, the Southeast Idaho SHRM board, and the Military Affairs Firecracker 5K Committee. She was Co-Chair for the Good Samaritan Society and the Vice President of the Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors. In 2012 she was recognized with the Military Person of the Year Award by the Military Affairs Committee. The honor was presented for her Superior Support and Dedication to Veterans, Active Military, National Guard and the Communities in East Idaho. Dana looks forward to being involved again with the community she loves.

In her free time, Dana likes to spend time with her three granddaughters, and enjoy God’s beautiful creations. She believes the best way to serve the community is to build lasting relationships, share personal struggles and roadblocks, find solutions, and inspire people to never lose sight of their dreams.
