Networking with other PM professionals is part of that contribution. It's also important to me, personally, for career growth as well as keeping up-to-date on the latest trends in the profession. One way I do this is by attending events in the project management community. This includes attending PMI chapter meetings and going to the Global PMI Congresses. (http://www.pmi.org/CareerDevelopment/pages/PMI-global-congresses.aspx) I also am active in the blogosphere. In addition to reading and contributing to other blogs (such as this one, pm411) I also publish my own blog, blogs.pmbestpractices.com. (There's a link to my blog on the left, under "Other PM Websites.") I join business related social networks such as Linkedin.com as well as contributing the PMI fan page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/PMInstitute). Both Linkedin and Facebook have discussion boards. I do my best to stay in touch with project managers (and future project managers) who I've worked with in the past - not only letting them know what I am up to and inquiring about what they are up to, but also emailing interesting links, articles, and other information that I come across that I believe they might be interested in.
