The Art of Networking: Resources

Think about what resources exist to help you.

1) IHS has staff to assist lovers of liberty to pursue careers in liberty, such as public policy. Contact them for advice.

2) Co-workers.

3) Fellow students and alumni. Check if there is alumni group in your town.

4) Websites (Cato, AEI, Heritage, state think tanks, etc.) can tell you about events.

5) America’s Future Foundation (www.americasfuture.org) networks young libertarians and conservatives, has active branches in Washington, D.C., and around the country, and has a career center.

6) Mentors who have knowledge in an area and will share it with you.

7) Friends and acquaintances.
