Megan Ratchford began her career in the hospitality industry 21 years ago in Pennsylvania and she’s currently a General Manager at Tru by Hilton Clearfield Hill Air Force Base. 

As a testament to Hilton’s commitment to the community, this game-changing hotel has been rated in the top 1% in the nation for guest satisfaction by the Hilton Corporation. 

“Tru by Hilton is independently franchised by the Woodbury Corporation and the Hunt Companies,” said Ratchford. “Both are fantastic organizations, and I am proud to be part of their story. It’s a wonderful culture, different from anything I’ve ever been part of before. They genuinely engage in our community and Hill Air Force Base.” 

Megan participates in the Top of Utah Military Affairs Committee with the Davis Chamber of Commerce Committee supporting military relationships in order to improve the quality of life for our service people and their families. Tru by Hilton enjoys working with military spouses to provide career opportunities at the hotel. 

Megan is also a Planning Commissioner for Clearfield City and in her off time, she loves hiking, mountain biking, and ax-throwing. 

Speaking to others wanting to work in hospitality, Ratchford said, “Authenticity and patience are key. And, remember to always challenge yourself, and continue to learn.”
