Looking for an opportunity to not just network but also bond with fellow business women? The Heart Link Network (HLN) is an organization designed to help professional women do just that.

In particular, the HLN helps women from small-business backgrounds connect face-to-face. Dawn Billings, founder and CEO of the HLN, designed the organization to offer women more positive and personal opportunities to share their experiences and discover new ways to succeed. In fact, Billings, having a psychology background, emphasizes this kind of networking because it has positive effects on the female endocrine system, reducing stress and allowing new relationships to form.

To supplement its chapter meetings, the HLN offers a comprehensive website that can serve as an informative resource for women in business. At TheHeartLinkNetwork.com, you can learn more about the organization, check out affiliated sites, and browse a variety of useful videos, resources, articles, and other multimedia.

The HLN recently opened a new chapter in Yakima, Washington. The chapter joins over 200 other locations in the U.S. as well as Australia and Canada. Women interested in joining their local chapter can register for an inexpensive fee, and the HLN also accepts applications for new chapters.
