This document provides tips and strategies for networking through associations. It discusses the benefits of face-to-face interaction and relationship building over the long term. The key recommendations are to find appropriate associations to attend by researching online and asking peers, attend events regularly to familiarize yourself with members, and serve the association by volunteering or taking on leadership roles. Examples are given of individuals who were successful by getting involved with their local chambers of commerce, alumni groups, civic organizations and business networks. The overall message is that networking requires consistency, persistence and fully engaging with associations through the "FAS" formula of find, attend, serve.
