In 2001, she merged Vision Travel with several other agencies to create TraveLeaders, which was ultimately acquired by what is now known as Travel Leaders Group. Meyer became the national director of leisure at TraveLeaders in 2005.
In April 2009, Meyer joined Express Travel as director of sales and marketing. There, she leads initiatives to continue the company's growth, as well as expand its role as a leader in luxury travel. Meyer is also interim CEO for ASTA.
