SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS
Set a goal of how many people you are going to reach out to and make a list of names and contact info. Give yourself a timeline to keep on track. Remember to follow up. It may take more than one reach out to receive a response.
If they say no... That's ok! There are plenty of other ways to get involved.
