Here are some more practical ways to use the Fellowship Promotion Guide and make a lasting impact.

Hosting a Fellow-led event

Before hosting a Fellow-led event, take a moment to review this guide. It’s a quick way to refresh your understanding of the Fellowship’s benefits and be prepared to answer questions from potential prospects. 

Sharing flyers

Print out the flyers provided in the guide and keep them handy. For instance, if you’re based in Italy and meeting colleagues or peers, you could carry some flyers in your bag to distribute to those who might be an asset to our community.

Incorporate promotion slides into your presentation

Add the Fellowship promotion slides to the end of your presentation. For example, you’re speaking at a sustainability conference. As you wrap up, you include a slide about the RSA Fellowship and share your personal experience, highlighting the benefits of being part of the sustainability network, for example, on Circle.

Nominate outstanding individuals

When you meet someone who embodies the spirit of the RSA, take action! Submit their name and email through this online nomination form. Picture this: you’re seated next to someone at an event, and after hearing about their incredible work, you know they’d make a fantastic Fellow. A quick nomination could be the start of their Fellowship journey.
