Landor Offices

Join me and other Fellows after work on Monday, April 26, and come ready to discuss project ideas and themes. I will be go over the recently announced RSA Catalyst and Support initiative as well as preliminary details of a new projects in the works and plans for the upcoming summer drinks party; Robin will bring us up to date on the New York Sustainability series.
Recent network meetings in New York have attracted a good crowd and the Landor facilities might be a little tight, so we are looking for a bigger space. Any change will be posted here and sent by email to those attending.
RSVP by leaving a comment here with your name, whether you will bring a guest potential Fellow, and note any topics you want to discuss.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all!

Recent transplant to NYC from London, starting up a US office for Urban Collective Project: http://www.urbancollectiveproject.org, a music project that empowers young people, aspiring to a career in the music industry, to write, record and promote original music for independent release under expert professional mentoring.
Looking forward to meeting US-based RSA fellows!
Will attend 4/26 event.
Samantha – welcome to the US Fellowship and good luck with your start up. it sounds wonderful and i look forward to meeting you and hearing more about it.
Thanks all – look forward to seeing those who are responding here as well as several who have emailed me direct. As well as RSA Catalyst, I want to talk to you all about the RSA Charter. We have a lot of ground to cover!

Dear Lynn, I will be delighted to attend 4/26 event. Best regards, f.
Hoping to attend!
Just started a company distributing green energy to the poor. http://www.energyincommon.org
Will definitely try to make it.
Thanks all responders both here and by email. Looks like we have a good agenda – would anyone else like to post a topic they are interested in sharing? Time is always so short at these networking events, so it’s sometimes really helpful to get some preliminary ideas flowing ahead of time.
As mentioned above, we will touch on the Catalyst Fund, the Fellowship Charter and the New York program in general, plus we’ll meet Samantha and Hugh who are both new to the New York group. Both have posted links in their respective comments above – really interesting stuff!
Hi Lynn,
If I am still here (hate to use the expression “stranded”, but ….) I’ll try to come along
Adam – I hope you get home but on the other hand we’d love to see you at the network meeting. You are our first volcano refugee. What brought you to New York?
I’ve been exhibiting at SOFA NY at the Park Lane Armory http://www.sofaexpo.com/NY/2010/exhibitor/zest/index.html
Think I might get back home before Monday though….
I’m looking forward to seeing you all and catching up on all your latest news and projects. I am also asking for feedback on recent RSA developments.
The RSA has been working hard to reconnect with its founding principles by developing fellowship networks, increasing engagement and supporting collaboration. We’ve all seen a difference – lots more communication, networks getting together all over the world, the creation of the Fellowship Council, a draft Fellowship Charter, and the RSA Catalyst Fund.
We want to know what you think about all this and in particular about the Fellowship Charter and the Catalyst Fund. It would be great if you could come to the meeting with questions, comments, perhaps even some project proposals. We will spend a bit of time going through this together. For those not attending the meeting, please feel free to comment here.
Like Samantha, I’m a social entrepreneur. I’ve started Carbon Outreach, a PR firm focusing on social media solely for sustainability-focused companies & non-profits (http://carbonoutreach.com).
I’ll attend tonight and look forward to chat about sustainability initiatives in New York City.
