The best way to become a valued network member is by

A) expecting others in your network to help you.
B) emailing your résumé to everyone in your network.
C) broadcasting the contact information of everyone you meet.
D) none of the above.

Expecting others to help you or spamming others with your resume or contact information are not effective ways to become a valued network member. Instead, focus on building genuine relationships based on mutual trust and respect, actively listening and offering support to others in your network, and providing value through your skills and expertise. Networking is a two-way street, so approach it with a mindset of giving and contributing to the community.
