How To Best Meet People In Networking Situations

What is a good way to meet people in networking situations?

The way you make friends and meet people in networking situations is to serve on a committee. You should find a group that you like and ask to be on a committee, whether it's membership or some committee. That's how you make friends! Some of my best friends I've ever had in my life I met working on a committee for six weeks, and we had fun. We put together a conference and we enjoyed it, or dinner or a fundraiser. Find a place to serve and then serve, and that's the best way to meet people in networking situations.
