Sherry Roden -- Senior Vice President
Hello! This is Sherry and I love helping women network to grow their businesses.
My background is in higher education. I worked at Oklahoma State University for 11 years. My husband Dale and I were married for 10 years before we decided to start a family. We now have a 5 year old named Zach, and much of our life revolves around him!
When Zach joined our family I made a career change and suddenly needed to learn how to network. I am a Housewarmers franchise owner. Housewarmers is a personal, direct to home marketing and greeting service company opening neighborhoods across the nation.
The Heart Link Network™ was the perfect marketing and networking vehicle to meet women in my community and has really helped me to strengthen my business. I love meeting new women in our community every month and creating lasting personal and professional friendships. It’s been such a blessing to help women get linked. I am amazed each month to learn about the amazing things women are doing in our community, in fact, I loved The Heart Link™ so much that when Dawn Billings, CEO & Founder of The Heart Link Network™ asked me to became the Sr. Vice President of Membership for the company, I happily agreed.
Now I get the pleasure of meeting and supporting all the women who choose to become Area Coordinators across the United States & Canada. I work closely with my dear friend and Sister Area Coordinator for Sherman, TX, Sara Tippett. We love the opportunity to meet women nationwide and help them get lovingly linked as well!
Yan Hughes -- Senior Vice President of Web & Media
As The Heart Link Network´s web designer I understand how important it is for professional women to network in today´s economy. I live and work in Atlanta, GA area with my husband and our two little charming children, one is 7 as a gifted student and the other is 2 1/2 who seems to follow his sister's footsteps very well. Just imagine how much I need to accomplish with those two :-)
From a marketing manager, and to a web designer, it was not as bigger a jump as from a big city girl to a suburban mom...Design is naturally born inside of me. With a professional training on the web development, I am working my dream work, what can be better having a job you have been loved and dreamed all your life?!
I am blessed to be a team member of the Heart Link Network, the amazing women's networking organization. The energy and passion in this group of women is incredible and they have demonstrated and presented all the American women, who have big dreams, and they work very hard to achieve their goals! I am honored to be working along with them to make the Heart Link Network a shiny star on the web.

Keri Byer -- Vice President of Accounting
I am the mother of an amazing 15 year old son and I´m married to the most amazing man on the planet, the love of my life, my very best friend. I feel my life is definitely blessed.
I feel so honored to be part of The Heart Link Network team. When I was asked to be The Heart Link Network accountant, I couldn´t say YES fast enough! Dawn is an amazing woman and she has built The Heart Link Network from her heart and soul. She has created the most amazing networking tool! I love being the Area Coordinator for Leander, TX.
My most rewarding yet challenging job is being a Fairy Godmother to the girls in central Austin. When I started www.austinfairygodmother.org three years ago I never knew it would be this rewarding. I had no idea what I was getting myself into! I work from home and able to be independent and I think that´s my biggest challenge I face each and everyday! Staying focused and disciplined really takes practice!
Being part of The Heart Link Network has enabled me to meet so many wonderful women not only in my own community but around the world! I love the connections I have made. I feel like I can never get enough!
Sara Tippett -- Vice President of Membership
Hi, I´m Sara Tippett. I have had the great pleasure of leading my women´s networking group for over 2 years now.
I began a group in Austin, Texas, because my long time friend, Sherry Roden, suggested I try it and I simply loved it. I discovered that I had a passion to help connect women. I loved watching the women I brought together link in wonderful ways and make meaningful and lasting professional and personal relationships. When my wonderful and supportive husband of 10 years, Chris, was transferred to Sherman, Texas, it was a complete blessing to have The Heart Link Network because it enabled me to quickly get involved with my new community and start meeting great women. Through the Heart Link I made amazing friends. We love, encourage, inspire and strengthen one another.
Chris and I are awaiting the arrival of our first baby, a son, Sutton Monroe, at the end of September 2008. So we know we are in for the exciting but wild ride of parenthood which will be a time of major changes and blessings. I feel so truly blessed!
The Heart Link Network continues to be a gift in my life. That is why I happily agreed to be the Vice President of Area Coordinator membership and continue to work closely with my dear friends Sherry Roden, Dawn Billings, Robin Dunda and Yan Hughes, our brilliant web designer, to help women build and strengthen the businesses they love.
The Heart Link Network is a great and loving family and I get to meet so many amazing women around the country, and develop lasting relationships with them. What could be better than that?
Robin Dunda -- Senior Vice President of Marketing
I consider myself a very blessed person.
I grew up in a home where both of my parents were self-employed. This had a tremendous impact on me as you can imagine. I loved the flexibility, in particular, that my mom´s career offered. At an early age I saw how important her contribution was to the family! I made up my mind that I, too, wanted to be my own boss someday.
My road to entrepreneurship began with no less than 19 jobs! I was now totally convinced that I was not meant to work for someone else! Those dead ends brought me to a decision to follow in my mom’s footsteps, and I began a career in direct sales.
For 2 decades, I built a multi-million dollar sales organization. I discovered that I love encouraging people, especially women! I find it very fulfilling assisting others in the realization of their dreams. Whether my role is large or small, I love supporting people to go for what they want most in life.
In the summer of 2007, I made a major career change, and joined forces with an incredible company, Isagenix International. I have a passion for helping people feel better…in mind, body, and spirit. We offer a unique nutritional cleansing system designed to achieve better health while cleansing the body of harmful impurities. We have exciting programs, especially in the area of permanent weight loss that really work to give people their lives back.
I am married to the love of my life, Stryker Dunda. We share 2 outstanding children, Joshua and Amelia. We are very involved in our church and we love to travel.
My goal through The Heart Link Network is to convey an abundance mentality to all of the women that I come in contact with. I genuinely believe that there is plenty of opportunity in store for each of us! I am certain that through this exceptional networking experience, you will be blessed both professionally and personally. I truly have been!
What you send into the lives of other people comes back into your own MULTIPLIED! I want to personally invite you to come and receive so that you can, in turn, give back to those you love.
