Founder Story
Meet Tammy Hendricks
After nearly 20 years working in healthcare, community engagement, and outreach, I learned that the biggest challenges communities face aren’t always a lack of resources—they’re a lack of connection, awareness, and collaboration.
I created CommunityLink to help people, organizations, and businesses learn, connect, and create meaningful impact together. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your community, grow a purpose-driven organization, or expand your network, CommunityLink was built to turn ideas into action.
