Get involved with some groups - go to meet-ups. There are several aviation groups out there such as Women in Aviation (not just for women, that would be discriminatory) or OBAP. These types of organizations usually have local chapters. Look into Civil Air Patrol.

Go to a local FBO or even flight schools and TALK to people.

There's no secret to networking - it's about striking up a conversation and finding a connection with someone.

Hope this helps!
