Before I attended my first GAPPA conference, my supervisor told me, “If you’re not networking, you’re not working.” I took that advice to heart and pushed past my introversion to meet as many people as I could, then went home and forgot all their names. I went back the next year and introduced myself to most of them again, and I was surprised how many of them remembered me. Based on this experience, I would tell you to do just as I did: Go to a conference. Introduce yourself to everyone. Introduce yourself again and again until you don’t have to introduce yourself anymore. Teach a class. Volunteer to serve in the organization. Network, network, network—you never know where it will lead you.
