RSA FELLOWSHIP Shape the future
We are the RSA
For over 270 years, the Royal Society of Arts has been a home for the world’s most forward-thinking leaders, a rare community where influence meets purpose.
Our Fellowship brings together a powerful network of senior executives, change-makers, academics, creatives, and innovators, united by a determination to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges.
As a Fellow, you join the ranks of those who don’t just talk about change- they drive it. You gain access to a trusted circle of leaders, a platform for sharing your ideas, and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.
This is more than membership. It’s your invitation to stand alongside those shaping the future.

FRSA, your badge of distinction
FRSA isn’t just an abbreviation – it’s a mark of leadership. It signifies your commitment to global change and embeds you in a community that has been shaping society for over 270 years.
Become part of a global network of business leaders, senior executives, and changemakers. Being a Fellow is more than a credential – it’s a distinction that shows you’re part of a select group dedicated to driving social impact.
What does FRSA stand for?
Having FRSA after your name marks your status as a leader in the pursuit of social change.
These four letters grant you:
- Recognition: Your place among bold thinkers.
- Connections: Indicating your openness to networking and collaboration.
- Commitment: Contributing to a global movement for change.
We invite you to join us – together, we can create a future with purpose.

That RSA spirit has attracted some truly remarkable Fellows (and members) over the years, including globally renowned and historically significant individuals across all industries.
