About Linda
Burhans
Mission “To acknowledge, motivate and appreciate all people
and inspire others to do the same.”
It is readily apparent when you meet Linda Burhans and see how she
conducts her business affairs in the Tampa Bay area that her personal
mission is “To acknowledge and appreciate all people.” With over 30 years
experience in leadership positions in corporate America, she now is one of
Tampa Bay’s leading women entrepreneurs. As founder and CEO of The Party
Crew, Inc., and CEO of SendACard123.com, she lives her
mission daily.
In 2002, Linda turned her focus on assisting others to improve
relationships. Hence, Professional Women Empower, a non-profit
organization was born. The group’s mission was, “to provide support to
women through guidance, vision and passion.” Under Linda’s direction,
women were motivated and inspired to be the best they could be while
contributing to their community. PWP was put to rest after four successful
years. Shortly after that she became COO of Heart Centered Business
Networking™. With multiple meetings monthly around Tampa Bay, every
person seeking to improve their business and personal relationships will
have the opportunity to learn from Linda’s successes.
Inspired by her father, David McCauley, Linda desired to start a movement
of sharing and compassion that was far-reaching. When Linda learned of
World Kindness Week she knew this was exactly the type of cause she was
searching for. She started “The Dave Game” to extend World Kindness Week
to include 365 days a year. By basing it online,
www.thedavegame.com, it
opened it up to potential kind deeds around the world. Linda is often
heard saying “Play It Forward” and “everyone wins who plays The Dave
Game”.
As CEO of
SendACard123.com, Linda provides a unique service that
simplifies the process of meaningful mailed communications, enhancing and
improving both personal and business relationships. The company sends high
quality cards to clients, friends and family for a nominal fee. The
tedious job of printing, stuffing envelopes and mailing just became as
easy as 123 with a couple of clicks of your mouse. It is obvious that this
falls right in with her mission.
Linda’s expertise reaches far beyond the financial realm with vast
experience in marketing, public relations, project management and event
planning. Linda is also a tremendous resource for other businesses and
agencies in the community. Her successes include:
-
CFO of 2 major companies she
helped lead to an astounding 300 % growth
-
Served on the board of
directors for several local non-profit agencies and civic organizations
-
Active member of Kiwanis and
Soroptomist

-

-

American Business Women

-

As humble as anyone can be,
Linda says “I am a regular schmo just like everyone else. We all want and
need similar things in life. So let’s work together instead of constantly
competing against one another.”
Her devotion to assisting others replenishes her energy and allows her to
keep up the fast pace. Supported by a loving family, Tom, her husband of
31 years, daughter Nicole and grandchildren Skylar and Tommy, their love
keeps her refreshed and ready for exciting challenges.
Linda is famous for her signature phrase, “Life is GOOD” and is heard all
over Tampa Bay saying it.
Look for Linda’s recently published book “Goodnight and God Bless”, a collection of wonderful
memories of her loving mother. The book is a
humorous and heartfelt story to inspire and assist anyone with the
challenge of being the caregiver to a loved one.
