Get involved in an SEG community Photograph by Barchfeld Photography 2008 Annual Meeting attendees network at the Sunday evening Ice Breaker. Joining groups and communities offers avenues to help you find employment, continue your education, and publish your research. SEG membership provides geoscientists with ready-made networks. Following are some tips. Join professional groups. Joining a professional group allows you access to lectures, conferences, workshops, forums, and meetings in your field. The people you meet at these events can expand your networking contacts. Volunteer to be a part of a committee. You can showcase your leadership skills by working on an industry-related committee. The contacts you make volunteering will be of a higher value because you will work closely together on significant projects. This is a great way to make yourself visible and valuable. As part of SEG's global strategy, members may now participate in most committee meetings from anywhere in the world if they have a telephone, broadband Internet access, and a few extra hours to devote to deliberations.
